Double Glazing Chip Repair?

Hi

I have a chip in a pretty large double glazed unit.

Unfortunatley due to the size of the unit the cost of repalcing the glass is £374.00:(.

A bit of lateral thinking got me wondering whether it would be possible to repair the chip using a chip repair windscreen service etc?

I would really appreciate any experiences or ideas:A

Thanks

    It's a good idea but i don't think it would work. If the seal has been broken and air has got in the gap wouldn't you still get condensation steaming it up.

    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    Further research I done has me thinking that it may possible but you have to have a lot of things in your favour eg:

    Type of glass
    Size of chip
    Amount of cracks
    Whether the seal is intact etc
