I have a double-pane window, downstairs on one end of the family room. It's
not very visible, being under the rear deck. Someone recently shot a small
hole, probably with a BB gun, which penetrated the outer pane. I'm looking
for advice on how to seal that up. I googled around, but surprisingly not
a lot there. Lots of articles on repairing broken windows or holes in
screens, but not this. Could not find anything on Amazon or on the sites of
Lowes or Home Depot. Any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance

You can epoxy over the hole, but it will show, and the seal is blown, so the
glass will fog up over time, I would expect.

Holes can be filled with resin, but I have no idea how well it works. Maybe
a local glass place will have what you need.
If appearance is not critical, I'd use epoxy.

That is for laminated glass only.
BTW, you can buy a cheapo one shot version at an auto parts store for
about $10.00.

You could patch the hole with clear epoxy, however, since the outside air
has got inside, the moisture in the air inside (unless you re in the desert)
WILL tend to condense onto the glass from time to time depending on
temperature.
