Two cracked panes in the greenhouse roof just repaired with Loctite Superglue Glass left over from another project. Will they hold? Watch this space.
I love the repairability of these old greenhouses (this one's a Halls Europa, circa 1970). The perishable parts are replaceable and still available. It'll be the rubber gaskets next.

Update: One pane failed on day 2 and had to be reglued. They now seem to be holding. Probably not worth the expense of buying new glue, but I had out-of-date glue to use up.

@jeffbronks@c.im that's encouraging. We face disassembling and disassembling one in our new home to relocate it. Availability of spares likely to be crucial 🤣
