Glass cleaner
Soft cloths
Gloves (optional)
Glass cutting tool (if necessary)
Silicone adhesive

### Step 1: Clean the Table

Before you start repairing the glass, it's important to clean the table. This will help remove any dirt or debris that could interfere with the adhesive.

Wipe down the table with a soft cloth and glass cleaner.

Put on gloves to protect your hands.
Use a glass cutting tool to score the broken glass around the edges.
Carefully lift out the broken glass.

### Step 3: Cut the Replacement Glass

If the replacement glass is not the same size as the broken glass, you will need to cut it to size. Use a glass cutting tool to score the glass along the desired cut line.

Place the replacement glass on a flat surface.
Use a glass cutting tool to score the glass along the desired cut line.
Gently snap the glass along the score line.

### Step 4: Apply the Adhesive

Once the replacement glass is cut to size, it's time to apply the adhesive. Use a silicone adhesive.

Apply a thin bead of silicone adhesive around the edges of the table where the replacement glass will go.
Place the replacement glass on the adhesive.
Press down on the glass to secure it in place.
