Q: I have a 7+5ft glass window pane it is a double pane not the usual double glazing as it was fitted when the property was built, there is a crack in the centre at the bottom about 6" in length is there anything in the market to do a temporary repair as it would cost a fortune to replace that size of pane if it is available to buy. Living in a isolated area in Argyllshire I need to do a repair meantime. Hope you can help. Thank-you Donald.

A: If it's just a temporary repair you can buy a resin repair kit (your local car store is actually the best place for these as they are often used for windshield repairs). This isn't recommended for a permanent fix - on a large pane of glass there are often large internal stresses and it can be dangerous to have a damaged pane of glass in the house.
