Review on πŸ”§ Permatex 09103 Windshield Repair Kit: Restore Clarity and Safety to Your Windshield by Moe Gilbert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Follow my method for best results

I bought a used 2011 Mustang GT with a nickel sized rock right in front of the driver. I have no idea how long it was there. I was offered $65 for a simple chip repair and $150 for a professional repair at Safelight. I did this repair at 7:30pm on an overcast, rainy day and still got near perfect results. I strongly recommend having UV lamps. UV lamps can be used in many ways. They make markers glow (fun for kids), you can spot scorpions and spots, cure many resins, make glow-in-the-dark things glow to maximum brightness, etc. UV lights are great, so if you don't have one, you'll have to buy it . . In any case, I used a can of compressed air, a lighter, a massager, a wire brush, and a UV light. I first picked out as much glass as possible with a pin, wire brush, and compressed air. After pulling the whole jar out and exposing a few holes for the resin to inject, I put my tongue on the jar, poured the resin in, then inserted the syringe and started sucking. This is the main thing now, where my method works best. He sucks the air out of the hole. Have someone LIGHTLY vibrate the syringe. While you're squinting in the car, heat the rice. Sudden heat for 1-2 seconds about 1 minute apart. You want the glass to be warm, not hot. What you are doing is causing capillary action. The more air you release now, the more resin will go where it is needed. The packaging says to vacuum for 10 minutes. But I did this for about 20 minutes until I stopped seeing the air bubbles being sucked in. So, vibrate the jar for 20 minutes and immediately heat it up. After that, just follow the rest of the steps in the guide. When you get to the last step. This is when you need either direct sunlight or ultraviolet radiation. Both will cure the resin in about 10 minutes. I hope this helps anyone who takes the time to read all of this. I wish you success! Take your time and I promise you, it's worth it 😎
