Hey, you will have to determine the size of the chips
A UV lamp is of course a viable way to cure the resin. Do not operate the UV lamp before injecting the resin. You'll have to leave the car for 5-10 minutes for the UV light to cure the resin and then you'll be able to proceed. The resin will take 20 minutes to inject into the crack and the resin will take 20 minutes to infiltrate the crack.

If something isn't fulfilling my expectations or exceeds my expectations and is a good value, I won't write a review. We are lucky to be in the latter category. As I was driving on the highway, I saw a dump truck entering the road dropping rock from its bed. Before I could swerve into another lane, it had already entered the highway. Once I realized what was happening, I moved to another lane and spotted a pencil eraser-sized white circle with a small 3 mm crack coming off of one side. I knew I had to act fast before it spread, knowing its severity will increase if it spreads. The cost of a windshield replacement is $400. It seems to be a curse, since my wife and I have replaced four windshields during the past ten My first step was to get on Amazon, find the product, and overnight There seems to be not much of it. In my kit I found a syringe, some sticky adhesive circular pads, a plastic stem of the same size, an adhesive pad, a small bottle of resin, a razor blade, some small plastic sheets, and In order to follow the instructions, I followed them to the letter. In step 1 there was a pin that was missing from the packaging that was supposed to be used for gently cleaning the impact area and removing any small fragments of My finger nail was all I needed and I followed the instructions as instructed. In the course of each step, I doubled the cure time since it was overcast. I don't think any simpler could have been done. Aside from the standard tools, there were no other requirements. After removing the circular base, I was blown away by the repair. I clung to the circular base to see what it looked like, but was shocked to find it was amazingly flawless. The repair was not only made, you could hardly see it without a magnifying glass without a magnifying In the long run, it will be interesting to see if the results hold up but I am quite satisfied with the results thus far. If it were up to me, I would have had to have the local company repair it, or worse yet, replace the whole windshield. I think this is one of the best purchases I have made in recent years. The only thing I regret is not having taken before and after After I cleaned the windshield, I would take after photos, but it wouldn't make any difference, as you would see a glass windshield of any shape or size. It should take you 30 minutes to an hour (mostly waiting for cure times) to give your windshield a gem-like appearance once again. Just follow the instructions carefully, take your time, and the job will be done.
This picture is blurry due to the light. It was snowing outside when I started this project in my garage, so I could not take a before and after shot. As you can see in the picture, the damage was repaired after the work described After following a semi down I-35, I acquired a pretty good Rock chip as a result of a "star break" while following a semi This view is from the passenger side and is really noticeable. Damage was limited to a diameter of less than 1" In most cases, it is at most the size of a dime. The outside edges of the dime are scratched with many fine cracks.
Okay, so this was my first shot at repairing my own rock chips. Watching some videos on YouTube, reading the instructions twice, and jumping in seemed like the best way to begin. First of all, the adhesive pad gave us a little challenge. It was easy to peel one side. I had a hard time getting rid of the other coating. In an attempt to peel the second side off my windshield, I almost pulled my windshield off. I don't think it's a big deal. Not that big of a deal. In order to get a full cycle of vacuum and pressure, I did one full vacuum cycle. By lightly tapping the chip, I was able to loosen air bubbles and let resin flow into the chip. It was still possible to see a lot of the chip, so I repeated the process. The second time, I gently flexed the windshield with one finger. Gentle pressure was all that was needed. It became increasingly difficult to see the pressure response on the adhesive pad, and some air pockets began to escape after some time. It was a good idea to perform a third cycle of vacuuming and pressurizing just to make sure. It was in the second cycle that I was most successful. After finishing the resin drop and the clear plastic coat, I applied the resin drop and the clear Despite an overcast winter afternoon and a low sun, I considered putting my car outside at the end of the day, but I was worried it would be too hot. The next morning, I moved the car outside after pulling the car back into the garage after an hour. After four hours (just for good measure), I removed the plastic and scraped it. According to the radar, the visibility should be between 80 and 90 feet. The original break has been improved by 90%. In addition, I believe that there is no longer a risk that the crack will run across the windshield, but we'll have to wait and see. My project was relatively simple, I used a headlamp for increased visibility in the garage to facilitate my work. To protect myself in case the resin splattered while applying or removing pressure, I also used safety glasses. Bringing it to the shop would have been nice, but taking it to the shop is much more convenient and takes less time than the last windshield repair shop waiting time. In the event I experience any difficulty transitioning from freezing winter days to a hot Western summer next year, I will update the review.
As a former employee of an auto glass company, I am very familiar with automobiles. It is funny). It seemed like a good idea to save myself about $100 by trying this kit. Unless it's because it's clear, this resin is nothing like what you would expect to find in the pros' hands. The plunger system is pretty useless since the injection point/seal is so small that anything that small shouldn't need an injection method in any case. *** The instructions state that the resin will cure in a period of 20 to 30 minutes The sun (UV rays) must be in direct sunlight for 30 minutes. It was still tacky to the touch after 30 minutes of placing a commercial grade UV curing light on each location (like a jolly rancher). I am guessing that the resin is still soft even after having been exposed to the sun and UV curing light. This professional grade resin cures half as fast as ordinary resins and is not tacky or soft when it is *After scraping off the excess resin, the appearance of the rock chips improved a bit and the surface is smoother to the touch however, I am not sure the extra resin will remain once the rain water runs off, or if the site will be protected from spider cracks.
