Glass repair tape

I was wondering if such a thing existed?

I have a few aluminium framed glass panes that are just right for placing on the boards around my smaller beds to warm up the soil and give things a bit of a head start.

Yesterday I was balancing a plank off wood whilst I kack-handedly screwed another plank to it (to make a new border).  The plank fell and cracked the glass :(

The glass is still in the frame, but it moves around a bit and the risk of cutting myself is high.

Is there any special tape I can buy that will form a hard seal, be waterproof, and preferably be see through?


I will pop to the DIY store tomorrow, but wondered if any of you could point me in the right direction!

Thanks

If there's no oil under it, there's no oil in it.

I bought a roll of tape from B&Q a while ago for mending glass, unfortunately I can't remember what it was called. It's just like heavy duty clear cellotape about 5cm wide. Hope that's helpful.

A tube of clear silicone sealer will sort it . Run a line of it over the crack both sides, then some beads on the glass round the frame.. If you cut the spout near the top so there is only a little hole, you can stick a nail down it when you have finished  the job. Will keep ok till you need it again
