This was a helpful video, thanks. I repaired my windshield yesterday and wanted to add a couple of things. 1. When adding the drops make sure they go down into the lower part of the reservoir, it's more effective that way. 2. When scraping, you don't have to be that careful, just have the razor at 90 degrees to the windshield and go at it. The excess material will all flake off quickly.

Thanks for sharing. I've got chip just a tad bigger than yours that's been there for a couple of years. I've seen this kit but wasn't sure how it worked (not expecting perfection). Might give it a go just to make it less noticeable. Here in Texas (US) we have so many things that fall off vehicles as well as other road debris that you're guaranteed to have to repair or replace a windscreen/windshield at least once (usually more than once in reality).

We ignored our chip on the wife's windscreen, not believing the hype. Hot summer in Perth probably contributed to the chip becoming a crack about 6 inches either side of the original chip! So we had no choice other than to get a new windscreen, $295 ay Wayne's winscreens in Mandurah! Because it is illegal to drive a vehicle with what was by now, a cracked windscreen!Drove home in my car, stopping off at Lakelands for a m8lkshake and get6ing out of my Hilux ute, I noticed a tiny chip at the bottom in the middle of my own windscreen! So here I am, seeing how I might be able to do it myself. Preferably before it becomes a crack! Much more to repair.

I don't think it's the heat that sets the resin, just UV light. So I would put it maybe 30cm / 1ft away. Even if it is cloudy you could still leave the car outside as it may still cure slowly over an extended period of time. The good thing is you can always have a second attempt if the first one doesn't go so well!

It's probably the most gentle way of scraping off the excess resin, plus it means you'll be scraping it off perfectly in line with the profile of the windscreen. On an angle should also be ok, but you run the risk of it digging into the resin more and possibly removing too much. I found that angled worked best right at the end.
