Question QUESTION: I have a NFL Eagles table lamp, that has 4 flat glass panels. the lamp was knocked onto the floor and one of the panels is cracked in 3 places, theres no gap to glue it or use silicone.
It's barely noticeable, but the heat from the bulb would likely shatter it. Shade is not replaceable.
Is there a way to reinforce the inside of the panel thats heat resistent? so i don't have to buy a another lamp?
ANSWER: hi jennifer you can try cutting a piece of regular single strenght window glass just a little smaller all the way around.then cement it around the edge of the glass and inserting it on to the broken glass on the inside of the broken glass use a two part epoxy cement.hope this helps
