Nobody likes shattered glass in their windows — but unfortunately, life happens. If you’re finding yourself face-to-face with a glass repair job on the horizon, it’s understandable to feel frustrated, especially if you have to wait a bit until your glass repair professional arrives. But fear not — there are some easy things you can do to get the situation under control until then.

Try these hacks for stabilizing your shattered glass until your glass repair appointment if bad luck finds its way to you.

• Attaching something plastic to brace it can be a good option. This isn’t a pretty solution, but it should do the trick until your glass repair professional arrives on the scene.
• Tape can be helpful too. Be sure to cover all areas of the crack and even slightly past it so it doesn’t spread. Once again, it’s not aesthetically pleasing, but it should keep your window from getting worse.
• In a pinch, you could even try nail polish for more surface-level cracks. But remember, this is only meant to buy you time — do not rely on this or the other hacks any longer than you absolutely need to.

Hopefully these glass repair hacks armed you with some helpful ideas if you come up against cracks or broken glass. If you are faced with shattered glass that has left the window frame, please be cautious about any necessary handling or cleanup.
