    If the glass is to be reinstalled, use a putty knife to scrape off all traces of old adhesive, then clean the glass surface with alcohol where new adhesive is to be applied.
    Avoid setting the glass on its edges; small chips may later develop into cracks.
    Make sure the bonding surface is kept free of water, oil and grease.
