Temporary fix for cracked glass?

To make a long story short, my glass cracked on the front of my wood furnace. So it's Saturday morning and I can't get replacement glass until Monday evening. Here's my thought, on the front, run some aluminum tape across the crack. On the inside, cut a piece of gauge steel to cover the glass and tack it in place for now. Any reasons why this wouldn't work till Monday?

The tape will do fine it will last until monday. You will need to find a glass shop that stocks pyrex glass or pyroceran glass.

The same situation just happened to our stove. Will the aluminum tape work by itself without the steel on the inside? If we use the aluminum tape on the glass / ceramic on the outside will we still be able to burn ?
