How to Fix a Crack in a Glass Dining Table

Fixing cracked glass is nearly impossible. However, some cracks can be mended, with the right circumstances. If you have a crack on a dining room table, you can stop it from cracking further by using the right adhesive. Only repair the crack if it's small, though, less than 1 inch and along the edge of the table. A long crack or one toward the center is too weak and will not get enough support from the adhesive; therefore, for safety reasons, avoid attempting to repair this type of crack.

Glass cleaner
Paper towel
Two-part epoxy adhesive
Razor blade

Instructions

- 1
  Clean the table top with a glass cleaner to remove any grease or dirt. Wipe dry with paper towel.
- 2
  Mix a 2-part epoxy resin together according to the package instructions. Some adhesives mix automatically when the tube's plunger is depressed, simplifying the task.
- 3
  Spread a thin line of the adhesive into the crack on both sides of the glass. Ensure the epoxy gets into the crack as far as possible.
- 4
  Leave the epoxy to cure according to package instructions. This can take several days, depending on the epoxy.
- 5
  Scrape off any excess epoxy with a razor blade by holding it flat against the glass surface.
