Chip in glass

[Singhms]

Hello Everyone,

Was wondering if anyone had some advice\experience on the following,

I have a second hand tank 6foot with 10mm glass.

It has a small chip on the inside of the glass (the previous owner had alot of rocks in)

The chip is about 0.5cm wide & 2mm deep.

So far from I have been given the following options,

1. Super glue the area

2. Silicone a piece of glass over the area

3. Just leave it

Any advice will be welcome!

Thanks,

[Willem]

Hi jwalker where's the chip ?

Hi Willem,

The chip is on the back glass, it is approx, 15\20cm from the bottom & 20\30cm from the left side(looking from front)

Thanks,

I would laeve it but better I think is to take a 100x100mm glass +- 6mm and stick it with silicone just remember to have no bubbles inbetween then you wont even see it.

Personally I'll stay away from using super glue on glass - my wife got tired waiting for me to fix a loose rearview mirror in one of our cars and ended up "fixing" it with Super glue - the result was a cracked windscreen...I think the superglue had some sort off chemical fusing effect and the glass couldn't take it.

Thanks for the heads up viskop

I have seen a few epoxy mixes that are made for glass maybe might be okay...

Go to PG autoglass. They do chip repair. Not hugely expensive either.
