To repair a broken window pane, you will need to follow these steps:
-
Remove any remaining glass pieces from the window frame carefully.
-
Measure the size of the opening where the glass pane was.
-
Purchase a new piece of glass that matches the measurements.
-
Apply a bead of glazing compound around the frame where the new glass will sit.
-
Carefully place the new glass into the frame and press gently to secure it in place.
-
Use glazing points to hold the glass in place around the edges.
-
Apply another layer of glazing compound over the edges of the glass to secure it further.
-
Smooth out the compound with a putty knife for a clean finish.
-
Allow the compound to dry and cure according to the manufacturer's instructions.
-
Once the compound is fully set, you can paint over it to match the window frame if needed.
Make sure to wear gloves and eye protection when handling broken glass to prevent injuries.
