The easiest way for DIYers to smooth the edges of cut glass is to use sandpaper. Wearing protective gloves, gently sand the sharp edges smooth using low-grit sandpaper and working up to high-grit sandpaper. You can also use a multitool with a rotating sandpaper cylinder to make quicker work of the project.

Yes, you can resilver old mirrors without any issues, and in many cases, it’s is the only way to maintain and preserve old, antique mirrors. Resilvering involves stripping the old silver off of the mirror, replacing the silver, and adding a protective backing to the glass. The process costs around $15 per square foot of glass, making it a relatively inexpensive solution for making older mirrors functional again. You can buy a DIY resilvering kit, but we strongly recommend hiring a professional to avoid additional damage and mistakes.

Yes, replacing only the glass in a double-pane window is possible, but you’ll need to hire a window repair professional to tackle this task. Your window repair technician will cut the seal around the existing glass, remove it, install new glass, and create a vacuum between the new panes to fill with insulative gas. This process will restore the energy efficiency of your window while keeping your costs as low as possible. It’s almost always more affordable to undergo this window repair process rather than replace the entire frame along with the glass.
