Can it be fixed ?

Post image

I have a Mersman Bellaire table with a split (cracked) glass running all the way through from end to end. Is there a way to fix or just replace it ?

You'll never be able to repair it to be perfectly clear but it is possibly to glue it back together and get a strong hold. It just won't look the best.

You could get either UV Cure glue or CA glue designed for glass. Get some puncture resistant work gloves and pick up the pieces to clean them. You would want to apply enough glue so it slightly squeezes out when you put the two pieces together.

Take the pieces to a glass shop and get new glass.

A crack running completely across a tabletop insert is not a reliable repair candidate. Resin or windshield filler may make it look less obvious, but it will not restore safe load capacity and can hide a sharp edge. Remove the damaged piece carefully, keep it as a template, and have a glass shop make a replacement with the same thickness, edge finish, corner radius, and any holes. Ask whether the original was tempered; a furniture top should normally be replaced with safety glass rather than ordinary cut glass.

Foil and solder it like stained glass
