Difficulty Level

Tools/Supplies Needed:

• push pin or scriber
• clean cloth
• rubbing alcohol/isopropyl
• windshield stone chip repair kit (used in the video is Permatex Windshield Repair Kit #09103)

Procedure:

• first ensure that your windshield is dry as was don't want any water or moisture contaminating the surface
• using the push pin or scriber, scrape away any loose damaged glass from the chipped area
• while doing this I would recommend having a vacuum cleaner going as this will pick up any glass debris
• next I like to wipe the damaged area down with rubbing alcohol, then allow it to evaporate
• place a cloth under the chipped area, this will catch any resin if it drips
• apply the white side of the double sided adhesive pad to the windshield, ensuring it's centered on the chip
• push from the center of the adhesive pad and slowly work your way out, this reduces the chance for any air pockets
• remove the green plastic off the adhesive pad, then attach the plastic pedestal, lining up both tabs on the pedestal and pad
• ensure the pedestal is pushed down where we don't risk any air bubbles and it has adhered properly
• take the resin container, either cut or twist the end off, then apply 3/4 of the resin container into the pedestal and put the resin container in a safe location where it won't drip on anything
• make sure the syringe is pushed all the way down, then insert it into the pedestal
• pull it up to the lowest notch, twist the pull cylinder, lock it onto the metal retaining clip, and allow it to sit in this position for 10 minutes
• after the 10min, gently break the syringe loose from the pedestal which will allow air into it
• push the syringe back into place, then unlock the pull cylinder, push it down until the upper lock position, and clip it into place
• allow it to sit in this position for 20 minutes
• once done, remove the syringe and watch out for any resin dripping, so have a cloth on hand
• using a razor knife, scrape off the foam adhesive, along with the pedestal
• make sure the surface is clean, then apply the remaining of the resin over the chipped area
• apply the plastic curing square over the area, gently press it into location with your finger, than smoothen out with a card or the backside of the razor to push out any air pockets
• park the vehicle in direct sunlight for 30 minutes to allow the uv light to cure the resin, if it's cloudy, then wait 1 hour
• after the resin has cured, carefully remove the plastic curing square
• there will be some access resin material left over, use the razor to scrape that way
