Help! Delamination need uv curing liquid resin to re laminate? SaoSA

ok. need some help. i have searched all over the internet. i have a large custom built fish tank. front of the glass is a two piece laminated starphire glass. each piece is half inch and laminate by pvb. NOT BY LIQUID RESIN.

this laminated glass was made about 8 years ago in canada. it has now started to delaminate at the top and almost looks like a 5 inch crack in the middle running from the top.

Suggestions to implement Sustainable building practices

2.Incorporate as many options from LEED.

3.Carefully plan construction and site design to preserve as much natural vegetation as possible.

4.Install high-quality insulation and double-pane.low windows.

5.Invest in energy-efficient and water-conserving appliances.

6.Use green roof or light colored roofing materials.

7.Carefully orient buildings to maximize the southern exposure.

8.Position the majority of windows on the south wall of buildings.
