Repair or camouflage cracked glass?

Question

Does anyone have any ideas on how to repair or camouflage the cracked glass in this picture?

KatAych · Answer

You might try the glass repair for car windows...I had a surface crack in a windshield before and that stuff filled it in quite nicely!

Janet Pizaro · Answer

There is a product by Loctite called instant glass glue that should bond the glass.

Lulu · Answer

If you have pets or children, perhaps you might consider having a piece of acrylic cut to fit frame (for safety). It will never crack, no one will ever get cut and you can reuse it if you change out your art.

Go to lowes, home depot, frame store OR any craft store and look for small corner type wooden trim pieces.

All Things Jenni · Answer

You can add a silk flower to camouflage the crack

Honestly unless the glass is huge in size, it's really not that expensive to get a simple glass replacement. Auto stores prices for this are quite reasonable. You might find it's less expensive than trying to 'fix' it and not like the results anyway. :-)

Shawn Marie Fernau · Answer

It is a fairly large piece of glass (at least to me). The picture frame it self is approximately 36' x 36'. So a little smaller than that. But thank you all for the wonderful suggestions.

Ann · Answer

How big is the glass? Thrift stores have framed art and empty frames with glass that may be the right size for you at a cheap price.

I've gone to 'ACE Hardware' in the back of the shop, purchased plexie-glass (sp?) with the frame in hand & they cut it to size. Small cost. Had to peel paper off it & wipe it clean from my finger prints with Plexie Glass cleaner (also at same store). :-)

ALSO check at your local craft store.. often they have damaged frames,, take out the glass. I do think it is cheaper to go to the local u-frame-it place.. you can cut it with their help.. much less expensive.. I had one done a few years back less than $5.oo for a poster size..

Molly Brown · Answer

36'x36' is not a standard size for glass or frames. It would have to be cut no matter where you get it.

GrandmaCarol Speight · Answer

does anyone bother to read what others have suggested?

Jacqui · Answer

Have not read the answers but I decoupage some napkins on a mirror it looks fab

GrandmaCarol Speight · Answer

reading the whole question is sorta important too

Jacqui · Answer

the decoupage repaired and camouflaged my damaged mirror. it was cracked across the upper corner and a copied on the other side to match

Joye R. Foster · Answer

Glass is less expensive than Plexiglass and dos not scratch as easily. I would suggest calling your local glass store and get an estimate before you decide. Best wishes.
