I have a double-pane window, downstairs on one end of the family room. �It's
not very visible, being under the rear deck. �Someone recently shot a small
hole, probably with a BB gun, which penetrated the outer pane. �I'm looking
for advice on how to seal that up. � I googled around, but surprisingly not
a lot there. �Lots of articles on repairing broken windows or holes in
screens, but not this. �Could not find anything on Amazon or on the sites of
Lowes or Home Depot. �Any suggestions?


Attach a syringe needle to a tube from a tank of argon. Stick it in the hole,
and turn on the argon to flush air and moisture from the window. Then seal the
hole with epoxy and/or clear tape.

Of course, I've never tried this.


gee i took my picture window assembly into pittsburgh window and door,
its about 4 by 5 feet and cost 80 bucks. they disassembed and
reassembled the frame. in by 8am out by 3pm

attemting to fix such a window by patching is a grand waste of time
and energy, besides wasting money
