There's a trick. I saw a windshield repair guy use a match on the inside of the window after the equipment with the glue is already in place. You hold a match 1 inch away on the inside directly on the crack for 3 seconds, then pull it away for a second then three on then one off then three seconds a final time. What that does is heat up and expand the glass and as the glass cools off it yanks the glue deep into the cracks and hardens quickly. I've done this for lots of people, know you know the trick.

Brought one of these kits here in the UK from my local Halfords car parts shop as I'd got a good size chip in my windscreen , followed the instructions and it worked brilliantly ... Canon even see where the chip was even under cols examination . Have brought some more bottles of glass resin and a UV light ( as the chip had been cured in good sunlight but this cannot be guaranteed so got the light ) so any future chips or other people's can be fixed .

They put a bandaid on it today. Finally, something that just goes right. This is already my third windshield. Its Saturday. Work is finished. It almost invisible and a pair of Bosch wipers for free. Insurance did it all. The repairman also took the time to show me how to remove the wiper arms to repaint them properly.

I've fixed a bad chip before and it held for years but that kit was nothing compared to this one. You can barely see where it was. I went ahead and filled in a bunch of really minor chips too. I cut the uv strips into 2' and 4 pieces . Circled all the chips and put a drop on each. This will work better with 2 people. A helper will make it go easy. The one problem I had was that the suction cups came rotate backwards and the thing wouldnt screw in. then I realized i just had to flip it over. the plunger seated and no sealant came out. filled the hole instantly, My kit was not rainx, it was just like it on amazon.

@KenzertYT 9 ай бұрын

If you can figure out where the crack began, then you have a good chance of fixing it if you just try and apply the resin from the initial spot it began to crack out from. If it is all internal and isn't from an outer crack, you can, if you are going to replace the windshield anyway... Attempt to use a glass bit to drill into the center of the crack, and inject the resin from there (this worked for me but I am VERY experienced and VERY handy..) I would consider either a new windshield if the part is inexpensive, or, I would consider a professional.. They at least have some degree of liability if they make it worse

If you use this, can later a shop fix it properly since there’s already a layer of this on it?

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 Жыл бұрын

I really don't know the answer to your question. I think if you fix it with this kit you shouldn't need to worry about taking it to a shop. The window I fixed in this video has lasted through two winters and it still looks like it did the day I did the repairs. A shop will do the same process but charges you a lot more for it IMO.

l just did it on some small round chips ,it didn't do much ,I can't see that it made it dissappear but maybe it got some stuff down in the crack.lts good to clean that chip out real good with something that remove any rain x or wax that's gotten down in the hole before you do this.lts curing now...yours looks better than mine ,it doesn't look like it did anything.

If you decide to attempt this again, consider using rubbing / isopropyl alcohol on the crack/chip to try and weaken any oils or waxes that are inside that will prevent resin flow!

Do you have to have it in direct sunlight to cure

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 3 ай бұрын

UV rays from the sun cure the solution so the more direct sunlight the better. You can also so use a UV light.

Would a heat gun not cure the resin if this was done in the evening?

Will this work on tempurature cracks

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 11 ай бұрын

I used it on a 15" long crack along the bottom of a windshield and it has sealed it well. Not sure if that's the same as a temperature crack or not. It didn't make it disappear but it is less visible than before. Also it did seal it from moisture and stopped it from getting worse.

@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 how did this glue reach the crack when temperature cracks are from the inside in between the glass? Did you remove the windshield and do it??

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 11 ай бұрын

Apparently mine wasn't a "temperature crack". You'll need to apply the solution to what ever side the crack is open to for it to work. It has to be able to wick into the crack. If the crack does not go to the surface of the glass it won't work. I think if there is a crack its probably open to either the inside or outside surface of the windshield. I've personally never had one that doesn't go to one surface or another but maybe they do exist.

I don't think it will make it worse. After the resin has set up with UV light, it can easily be scraped off the smooth surface of the glass with a razor blade. Depending on the depth of the scratch it might take a couple applications to completely fill it up.

I've never had it not work so I really don't know the answer to your question. What do you mean by it didn't work? Did the fluid not set up? Did you expose it to UV rays for the required amount of time? I would say to try it again and see what happens.

@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 It’s been sunny all week where I live and the crack is about a week old so I did it later on in the day when the sun was going down and the resin wasn’t able to cure like it should with the UV rays. It closed the crack pretty well but there’s an air bubble in it and I can still feel a tiny hole on the outside of the windshield where the chip originated from.

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 Жыл бұрын

I think you'd be fine to go over it again but make sure you have plenty of UV so it will cure. Maybe you still have enough left over and you can just go over it again. You might have to press around the crack to work out that air bubble. I wish you the best with your project.

I applied it along the crack and then lightly pressed on the edges of the crack to help the solution seep into the crack then finished up the repair the same as a chip repair. The crack will still be visible most likely but it should prevent moisture getting into the crack and increasing the damage.
