It may be beneficial to roughen the surface a bit as well, especially if the surface is extremely smooth. A gentle sanding provides the adhesive a larger area to adhere to, resulting in stronger bonds.

When you are ready to begin the actual repair, it is important to use a product that is specifically designed for glasses. This will ensure that the glue is safe and won't leave unattractive marks or marks. Choose an uncolored glue that will turn transparent once it's dried. Avoid glues that expand when they dry, since this can cause cracks in glass.

You'll also have to think about how the glass will be used. If it's going to be kept inside and won't be subjected to excessive stress, then a basic super glue is sufficient. In contrast, if the glass is intended to be a part of a windshield it's best to use an adhesive that is weatherproof.

Super glues can cure in a variety of times. Some require chemical accelerators to accelerate the process, so it's important to follow the directions of the manufacturer carefully. It's recommended to work in a well-ventilated location and open any windows to improve air circulation, as this will aid in helping the glue dry faster.

Paint

When painting a window, it is important to do a thorough job. This will make the new coat of paint look nice and also let it adhere properly. Before you begin, ensure that the window is clean and scraped to get rid of any bits of paint or wood that are sagging or decayed. It is also important to remove any hardware, such as latches and handles. You will also want to smooth the surface you plan to paint. This will give a smooth surface on which the primer and paint will join.

It is important to protect the areas around the window with plastic sheeting and painters tape. This will make sure that you don't paint on anything that isn't supposed to be painted. I prefer green frog tape to do this as it provides a crisp line that is easy to take off when the time comes. Painters tape is a great choice for any edges that are adjacent to the walls.

After the window is secured then it's time to begin the actual painting process. It is recommended to apply a few coats of primer, and let each one dry before moving on. Once you've finished the primer, it's an excellent idea to give the entire surface an easy sanding using fine-grit and 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 will need to wait until the oil-based or acrylic primers or paints have dried completely before you start painting. This could take up to a day, depending on the brand you're using.

It's time to paint after the primer and paint have dried. Paint the rails (horizontals first) prior to the stiles (verticals). This will help to keep drips of paint from getting onto the glass. Keep a moist cloth on hand to clean any drips of paint immediately.
