We have a beautiful lead light front door that has unfortunately been damaged, with cracks in the glass on every panel. Looking into restoration it’s more than we want to spend currently. There is a slight ledge either side of the glass on both sides of the door, to make it more secure, could we do something like glue PVC panels either side of the glass?
UV resin could potentially help stabilise the cracks @NicoleDIY, and applying the PVC over the front face would certainly help contain the glass if it did happen to shatter. From a safety perspective, having the PVC cover in place is a good interim measure until you can invest in a proper repair. That said, leadlight work is really quite specialised, so it’s hard to say exactly how effective UV resin would be in this case. Whenever you’re working around cracked glass, make sure to wear safety glasses, cut-resistant gloves, a long-sleeved shirt, trousers, and enclosed footwear to protect yourself.
