<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 354290, member: 54"]Bought a stack of assorted large (4’x2’ or so avg.) NOS glass panes made for industrial applications, some single pane, some like auto glass, some wired inside, etc. Why exactly that heavy pallet dropped about 6” is too hard to explain, but it did, I did it, and some of the glass is now cracked, but none has bent or relocated due to its robust design. But I’d like to reinforce the cracks somehow, appearance when done doesn’t matter, I’m going to install it on a steel fume hood that’s about 12 x 5 x 8 ft., and has a 10’ x 42” hole along one side for windows to admit light and reduce claustrophobia of workers inside. So as long as fixed glass is still translucent it is fine. I think cracking is limited to a few pieces and at the outside of those. Epoxy? Superglue? Some proprietary stuff? What would you use? I can post pic of fume hood if u want, no pix of glass yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
