I just used the Permatex product to “ repair” a bullseye spot with 12 and 6 o’clock 1/4” extended cracks. Results were excellent.

Thank you for explaining the reason for creating a vacuum at the stage that the syringe plunger is pulled up.

The million dollar question is HOW ON EARTH do you know when you put in 3/4 of the resin in order to have 1/4 of it left?

[snowdogthewolf]

As for the leaking resin, I have seen other tutorials that suggest cleaning the window with alcohol (or a dedicated glass cleaner) to remove any oils that may have transferred from your hand onto the glass during the "thumbtack pit cleaning" process (the first step). That, they say, will allow the adhesive to provide a proper seal.

I had a dump truck fling some gravel onto my windshield from the opposite lane, so I purchased two of these kits. They appear to work well, so hopefully that will save us some money.

also instead of tapping, can apply some heat as well

How has this or the rainX held up over time? Did either product prevent the crack from spreading?

[WaterMeA-biscuit]

Do you have to scrape the excess resin off with a razor? Could I keep it on?

[ammo]

Can I use a razor blade to scrape over the crack it’s self after it has dried?

[RiyadaNem]

If you use a heat gun it will help it run into the crack more

[charleyz]

I lost my curing strip will it work without it?

[spyderlogan]

I'm just wonder if a simple, single drop of epoxy and the curing patch will fix a very small oval scratch(not a crack) on my windshield. Opinion?

[sharkparty]

Which is better? Rainx or permatex long term?

[johnathan]

This is the only kit I use now. All the others I’ve tried just doesn’t work as well as this one.
