How to Repair a Broken Window
If it's from a storm or a ball thrown by your neighbors' children, broken window glass is not something to ignore. It could cause more problems including leakage of water or drafts that increase your energy bills.
Depending on the extent of the crack, there are a variety of options to fix it. Here are some options to think about.
Tape
A good old-fashioned piece of tape can be a temporary solution for cracks in windows. It's simple to use, inexpensive, and works quite well. Make sure to cover both sides of the crack to ensure that it is as secure as possible. This will reduce the amount of air that will be able to enter the window and cause damage to the glass or shatters. Clear tape is a good option as it looks better than duct tap and doesn't leave a sticky residue after removal.
You can also purchase specialized adhesive tape from most hardware stores. It comes in 2 x 30 feet lengths, and creates a patch that is invisible. This stops the tear or crack from spreading. This is suitable for windows for boat enclosures as well as tent or RV vinyl windows as well as soft top car windows. It is easy to use and requires no specialized tools or expertise. Cut the appropriate size, then remove the release paper, then apply it. It is also resistant to salt and UV and is made of a durable material that can stand up to the harshest conditions. This will save you a lot of money by keeping you from having to purchase a complete window replacement.
Super Glue
Using super glue to repair your glass is an easy fix for small chips and cracks in glass. These adhesives bond to hydroxyl ions on the glass surface, creating an unbreakable hold in a matter of just a few seconds. Cyanoacrylate glues are also good for gluing metal, wood and ceramic to glass since they can withstand moisture and high temperatures. If you have a huge project to complete, you may think about using silicone or epoxy glues for a more long-lasting hold and quicker drying.
Before applying any type of glue to a broken window it is important to prepare the surface. You will want to remove all debris and ensure both surfaces are clean and dry. It could be beneficial to roughen up the surface well, especially if it's extremely smooth. A gentle sanding provides the adhesive a bigger surface area to adhere to, which will result in a stronger bond.
When you are ready to start the actual repair, it's crucial to use a glue that has been specially formulated for glasses. This will ensure that the glue is safe to use and won't leave any unpleasant marks or fingerprints. Select clear glue that will turn transparent after it has dried. Avoid glues that swell when they dry, as they can cause more damage of cracked glass.
You'll also need to consider how the glass will be used. If it will be kept in a closed space and not be subjected to excessive stress, then a simple super glue is sufficient. If, however, the glass is intended to be used as part of an exterior windshield it's best to use an adhesive that is weatherproof.
Super glues are able to cure in a variety of ways. It's important to read the instructions carefully as some require chemical accelerators to speed up the drying process. It's recommended to work in a well-ventilated location and open any windows to improve air circulation, as this will help the glue to dry faster. In addition, you can always utilize a fan to boost the flow of air around your work area, allowing the glue to dry more quickly.

Amber safety films are recommended for bullseyes and other breakages with tiny cracks. Gray safety films should be used for star breaks. Films should be applied to clean, damp glass.

Paint
When painting a window, it is important to do a thorough job. This will make the paint appear nicer and allow it to adhere better. Make sure to clean the window and scrape off any paint or wood that is loose. It is also essential to take out all hardware like latches and handles. It is also important to smooth the surface you plan to paint. This will create an area that is smooth so that the primer and paint can join.
Protect the window's area with painters tape and plastic sheeting. This will stop paint from getting on areas that are not supposed to be painted. I prefer green frog tape for this because it creates an uncluttered line and is easy to take off when the time comes. Painters tape is a great option for any edges that are located near the walls.
After the window has been secured and the window is secured, it's time to begin the actual painting process. You'll need to apply a few coats of primer, and allow each one to dry before continuing. After priming the area, you can lightly sand the entire surface with fine-grit sandpaper. This will help in making the surface smooth for the next coat of paint. It will also assist in getting rid of any dust that has collected.
You'll have to wait until the primers made of oil or acrylic paints have completely dried before you start painting. Based on the type of paint you are using, this can take up to 24 hours.
After the primer and paint are fully dry, it's time to paint. It is best to work from the inside out by painting rails (horizontals) before stiles (verticals). This will prevent drips of paint from getting to the glass. Also, ensure that you keep a damp cloth to wipe off any drips of paint as soon they happen.
