CRACKED WINDSCREENS
o — ■ Method of Repair A cracked windshield is dangerous as well as unsightly, and as it is not watertight it often causes inconvenience to the occupants of the car in wet weather. If the crack is near the middle of the shield, the glass should l)e replaced, as attempts at patching invariably impair the driver’s view through the glass. A method of repairing cracks near 1 lie side of the glass is suggested by Motor Transport. The broken edges should ho brushed with water glass, and set together to adhere. Both surfaces of (lie glass are then painted with water glass, and two sheets of celluloid, large enough to cover the crack and leave a considerable overlap, are pressed on to the painted surfaces. It is advisable to leave one side to dry thoroughly before attempting to cover 1 the second side. —■ --- -
