People do not break mirrors intentionally; it happens when you lose your grip, and it falls and cracks. Small cracks make people dispose of a nearly perfect mirror when it would need to repair the crack.
Glass repair kits are used to repair broken mirrors. They are available at auto supply stores. Here are simple steps for Broken Mirror Replacement in Katy TX. To replace a broken mirror an individual will require the following: a glass cleaner, soft cloth, microfiber cloth, glass repair kit and a razor blade.
The first step is to clean the crack in the mirror gently with a soft cotton cloth. That process removes all the dirt from the crack and the surrounding area. From the repair kit, take the stabilizer and apply over the crack and peel off the adhesive backing. It covers the damage and allows you to fix the break.
With your hands, press any air that may be trapped under the stabilizer so that it is smooth against the mirror. Next step in replacing a broken mirror is to pick the syringe and fill it with resin then insert the needle through the stabilizer into the crack. When the resin injected fits into the crack, leave the resin to cure for as long as the product instructs and then peel off the stabilizer.
After that, apply a small amount of resin on top of the cured crack and cover this resin immediately with a curing fill from the repair kit. Once the top layer of the resin has cured well, peel the film off. Using the razor blade, smooth the repair to make it even and then clean the mirror using the glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth.
A broken mirror is repairable through this simple process, however, depending on the severity of the breakage in the case of residential, commercial and car mirrors consulting a glass expert in Katy TX is the best option. Some broken mirrors pose a safety threat and are too damaged to repair, and in those cases, it is always important to dispose of them properly to avoid anyone stepping on the small breakages and hurting themselves.
