Default repair of crack in window

I have a window that needs to be properly sorted sometime, but there is a about 4cm curved crack near the bottom. Is there some penetrating glue that I can use to fix this crack so it will not run any further in the near future ?

Trying to avoid replacing the pane for now.

Thanks,

Simon.


Well SWMBO does not want me up a ladder with glass just before our first child (!) but I might see if I can find a local glazier that does not need a scaffold and get a quote for removal and replacement with 4mm glass (glazing pins and putty). The glass currently there in the fairly small triangular "bay" is very thin (feels less than 3mm to me) and it seems silly not to sort if before painting the outside.

This window will be replaced with double glazing eventually but we don't really want to go there yet.

Cheers,
Simon.
