Hello!

I've got this beautiful framed Fireball backglass on my wall. Beautiful, apart from one aspect: there's a crack in the upper right corner.

The crack was already there when I had the backglass framed, but looking at it now, I think it might have already gotten a bit bigger.

My question: is there a way of stopping this process of the backglass slowly destroying itself? Some kind of glue, maybe? I'm afraid that, if I do nothing, the backglass wil be in two halves. Hope somebody can help me!

Quoted from slochar:

It might be best to actually crack it all the way down and then repair... especially if it's just staying as a wall hanging. The frame might be too tight as well causing even more stress.

Nah, I'm not breaking a beautiful backglass. In case it's not possible to prevent it, than it'll just break when it breaks.

The glass can move quite freely inside its frame, that is not the cause of this problem.
