For more severe cracks, like stress fractures caused by changing temperatures, you'll need to extend the tape on both sides several inches beyond the crack. To provide a permanent solution, there is also glass repair film that is designed to hold the entire glass in place and is cut to size. To ensure the best adhesion, clean the damaged glass thoroughly before applying any repairing products. Use a glass cleaner and an unclean cloth to remove any residues or oily spots on the glass's surface and in the cracks.

Apply the glass adhesive or epoxy to the crack using
