My wife any I inherited a curved glass china cabinet from my recently deceased mother... and all was well with the transport of said cabinet to our house... that is to say, all WAS well until several days after it arrived, when spontaneously a strange tear-drop shaped crack occurred (please see photo). As folks will note, the glass is curved, and the crack starts at an edge and then returns (in a curved direction) back to the crack running-line. I would not have thought that that would/could occur.
Replacement of the curved glass would: i) be $$; and ii) require removal of the top, say, of the cabinet (PITA) and so I want to explore repair possibilities. Don't need perfection, here. Note that I currently have the teardrop taped in place; it cannot be "poked-through", but it can be removed in the outwards direction. Also, no shards are broken off; it is fully intact and it can lightly be shifted so edges are flush with the surrounding glass.
Do folks have any ideas re how to repair-in-place? Cabinet can be, of course, set on its back to allow for repair.
Can windshield repair technology be used? A home kit or use a professional? Bring to shop, or have repair tech come to our home?
Any other ideas? Please and Thanks, in advance!
