Step by Step Instructions to fix a glass

Have a broken glass, fix it with Bostik Super Glue Ultra+

Drinking from a beautiful glass-stemmed tumbler feels different. But, beautiful glasses are delicate and fragile. An accident can send a glass crashing and break the stem.  

Sometimes, the glass is so beautiful you don’t want to let it go. Or maybe, it’s part of a family heirloom set. The good news is that you can repair broken glass with a little glue. Here’s a quick

Accidents happen!

Glass is beautiful but fragile. If you’ve chipped the mouth of a glass or cracked the cupped section, do not try to repair the glass. But, if it's the stem that has broken, you needn’t say goodbye to your glass just yet.  

Cracked glass – fix it with glue

Glue is the ideal adhesive for glass repair projects. You need a strong glue that can bond glass pieces together without making a difference to the way the glass looks. Hence, a transparent, liquid glue like Bostik Super Glue Ultra+ is ideal. The long nozzle makes the glue easy to apply and your glass will be fixed in seconds!  

Get started with broken glass repairs

Keeping a broken glass at home isn’t safe, the broken edges of the stem are sharp and could cut you. So, as soon as you pick up the broken pieces, get a tube of Bostik Super Glue Ultra+ and fix the broken pieces. Here are easy step-by-step instructions.

Instructions

Step 1: Clean up the broken edges of the glass

Pick up the pieces and use an appropriate method to carefully clean the broken glass edges.  

Picking up broken glass

You can use a wet newspaper or dough to lift small shards of glass off the floor. 

Step 2: Apply glue

Squeeze out a small amount of glue on the broken edge of the glass stem.  

Application tips

Squeeze the glue directly onto the glass. Do not use a brush, toothpick, or any other tool to spread the glue. 

Step 3: Align the edges and press

Align the broken edges together and keep them pressed for about 15 seconds. The glue acts fast so make sure the positioning is perfect.
