Fogged windows are usually the result of seals that are not properly sealed. Glass is held in place by tiny metal clips, called glazing points on wood and spring clips made of metal. Warm the glue used to "bed" the glass by holding the heater near it until it softens. Broken or cracked glass A bad storm or a stray pebble from your lawnmower that falls through the window, or a glass vase that is dropped by your cat are the most common causes for broken or cracked glass in the home. Minor cracks in the glass can be repaired without compromising its durability or ability to seal out cold or heat, or to shield your home from weather-related conditions. Glass that has suffered more severe damage may need to be repaired or replaced by an expert. A single strip of strong hold tape can prevent the damage from getting any worse. For more serious cracks, such as stress cracks that result from fluctuating temperatures, you will require the tape to be extended by a few inches beyond the crack on both sides. Glass repair film can be used as an all-time solution. It is designed to hold the window in place, and is cut to the appropriate size. To ensure maximum adhesion, clean the damaged glass thoroughly before applying any repairing products. Utilize a glass cleaner as well as an unclean cloth to remove any oily spots or residues on the glass's surface as well as the cracks themselves. Acetone (the ingredient in nail polish remover), can be applied to the rag to break down stubborn dirt or oily spots. Once the glass is dry it's time to prepare for the application of the chosen repairing substance. If you're working with a two-part epoxy, it's essential to mix equal parts of resin and hardener prior to applying the glue in order to get a well-balanced mixture
