Repairing Laminated Stained Glass

[MeixiaBrad]

I have need to repair some laminated stained glass....that is, stained glass that is laminated to float glass. Does anyone have experience with this or with a similar application? The main issue that I see are the irregular surfaces typical of stained glass...how can you get a good tight suction so that the injector won't move.

Any thoughts our suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Not that these are good suggestions, but the best I've come up with yet. First and you may need a helper for this is to simply hold the injector in place by hand. Secondly you may try attaching a piece of metal or glass with some type of clay or putty adjacent to the break allowing you a flat place to attach your bridge to.

Might sound silly......but try "Silly Puddy" It should work in your situation.

Drill 1/4" holes in the glass and put wall anchors in the holes, and....

Seriously,

Sounds like you might have to just hold the bridge manually... and hope it's an easy fill.

As for the clay/silly putty idea...

I used to use some sticky clay stuff to hold sure lamps in place. I think it was a/c duct sealant. You will find it at Home Depot/Menards... it's black or dark grey and looks like a small block of clay. Either in the HVAC or Electrical dept.

Also, there is rope caulking I have used that may have enough "stick". WalMart might have it in the window plastic/caulk isle... the package I have is a box about 6" square.
