How to Make Glass Laminated Bullet-Proof Glass

Bullet-proof glass is made from different types of plastic, including glass laminate, polycarbonate, acrylic and glass-clad polycarbonate. The thickness of the material and refining process help to determine its strength. Laminating a pane of glass with a bullet-proof material will strengthen it and make it bullet-proof.

Instructions

- 1
  Remove the glass from its frame.
- 2
  Position the glass on mount that is perfectly level.
- 3
  Measure the dimensions of the glass.
- 4
  Clean the glass with a rubbing alcohol-soaked paper towel. This leaves it spotless and clean.
- 5
  Cut a clear glass clad polycarbonate pane to the dimensions of the glass.
- 6
  Carefully pour a liquid clear polyurethane epoxy on to the glass. It should spread smoothly and evenly. Put a drop cloth under the edges of the glass because the epoxy will spill over. Pour enough on so the entire pane is coated thoroughly.
- 7
  Carefully place the glass-clad polycarbonate pane on top of the glass.
- 8
  Align the edges of both panes. Let the epoxy run off. Allow the weight of the glass-clad polycarbonate to push the epoxy off.
- 9
  After a minute wipe down the edges of the pane.
- 10
  Wait for the epoxy to dry.
