Repairing Chipped Glass Coffee Table
Glass coffee tables are a stylish addition to any living room, but can easily be chipped if mishandled. Luckily, quick and easy repairs can make them look as good as new! Below are the steps to repairing a chipped glass coffee table:
Materials Needed
- Glue
- Clear nail polish
- Masking tape
- White toothpaste
- Clean cloth or paper towel
Step 1: Protect
To prevent further chips, use masking tape to secure the broken pieces. This will prevent further breakage.
Step 2: Apply the Glue
Apply a thin layer of glue to both the broken pieces. Once the glue is on, quickly press the pieces together.
Step 3: Add the Nail Polish
Using the clear nail polish, cover the pieces of the coffee table once they are glued back together. This will help secure the pieces and prevent further breakage.
Step 4: Finish with Toothpaste
Using a cloth or paper towel, apply a thin layer of white toothpaste to the chipped area. This will help to fill any remaining gaps and smoothen out the area. Allow the toothpaste to set for a few minutes before wiping off any excess.
Step 5: Buff Dry
Finally, use a dry cloth or paper towel to buff the area dry. Make sure to remove any remaining glue or toothpaste residue.
By following these steps, you can easily repair minor chips in your glass coffee table without needing to replace it. Just remember to use caution while placing items on top of the glass and to always use masking tape before handling any broken pieces.
