Good luck mate

Was looking forward to a Skill Builder collab, would be cool to have a full one. Glass does look better, even if not ideal. I'd imagine a better vacuum pull and compression would have dealt with the bubbles, like resin casting.

I'm an average knobhead, I did my bathroom about 20 years ago and all the silicone is still in place and good working order. No soap or anything else involved.

Where’s Roger?

I'm also wanting to set my UPVC frames back by 25mm into the cavity but I didnt realise you can use the metal window straps under the cill too, I thought they were just for the sides. Why did you choose expanding foam tape around the frame over insulating expanding foam from a gun like illbruck 330? When the inner and outer walls are the same height at window openings, then you add the cill to the outer leaf, an off cut I got has the cill at 35mm high where the window frame sits on it, so I'd need a really thick internal timber window board. How have you got round this issue?

at 1:48 would you not be applying air tight tape to the 90 degree angle where the 2 closers meet so any water running down the vertical wouldn't get out anyway?

Never listen to this fake guru! Use glass cleaner! Period!!

sometimes feathering a flame from a lighter can run the crack back in on itself, won't hide it permanently just long enough to get paid.. 🥺😂

If you're going to replace the glass then better to wait until the house and landscaping is finished, saves smashing it again with a falling file or wheelbarrow or scaffolding or an angrily thrown broken Ryobee 👍so in five years 😂😘

To be honest Aiden, once all your building work is completed maybe replace the pane and be done with!👍

Very interesting chap. I'm looking for a quick method to line out my Hugh workshop with OSB. will these fixing work on breeze block or is the open nature of the block too weak. Many thanks and good luck with the self build. Cheers Peter

I think that getting the glass horizontal would have done a much better job.

Ah the joys of self building. It's the gift that keeps on giving, there's always something that needs sorting. We've been in for nearly two months now and I though when we lived here it would get easier for getting things done but I think it's actually got worse as I constantly look around the house and see everything that still needs doing. It will all get done eventually though. Another great video, I didn't even realise that such kits existed. Whenever we've had a crack in the windscreen it's always been sorted on insurance. I'm assuming we'll be seeing you in a Skill Builder video at some point after seeing Rogers cameo at the start?

£3 for a bucket! Did you import a special cat water bucket or something?

I’ve tried a fix like this with similar results. A repeat fill was needed to remove the dip in mine. Did polish okay but found hand polishing was more effective than a buff pad. You can still see it but it’s less irritating so I called it a win and moved on. Nice vid.

Roger Bisby threw a rock at your window?

You standing in front of the window at the end with a mallet on the ground I figured would mean for a different ending than what we saw lol.

I did this multiple times Aiden and the crack almost completely disappeared! Here's my unsolicited advice :P - It helps to make the valleys of the crack larger. They need to be "V" shaped so resin can flow in there without issues. - When you create the vacuum you can tap it with your finger from behind until the resin completely fills the crack. That helps the trapped air bubbles escape. - You can use the syringe both ways to push and pull the resin at your discretion. Basically create negative and/or positive vacuum. You need to look from the other side if resin reached every valley of the crack. But don't do it aggressively otherwise you'll introduce air bubbles rather than removing them. - The transparent foil flattens the resin, pushes the excess out, and creates a small vacuum too. You should press it with your thumb slightly so that it can create a stronger vacuum (and squeeze more resin out of the sides). You can clean the excess with a rag. The stuff is very forgiving. - Laying the glass flat doesn't look necessary to me, as long the resin thing is oriented upwards. Final thing, you can still fix this and make it disappear completely. you just need to scrape the visible cracks, make it a bit larger, before you try again.

Brave attempt - but on balance it may have come out better if you took the unit out and propped it up at angle to get the filling tube level - but then that’s two opportunities to drop the f’n thing😉👍

Great vids mate

Cheers Aiden.... That was a smashing video! 🙄

the cat fountain nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Cheers certainly very useful info to know Hope it all gets fixed up ok.

You could have used a lighter on the back side to make it flow better, used to do that in colder weather when I worked at a windscreen repair company.

Bought our cats a fancy water fountain…only for them to prefer water out of an old mug after a power cut. Lesson learned.

Just get yourself a sample polish set if you dont intend to do much polishing. Youll get all the grades, and wont have to buy huge bottles. A small foam polishing pad will be sufficient for that small repair area.

Literally thought I clicked on a skill builder video by accident for a sec there 😂

Used Rainx on windscreens loads of times always with good results, but I think the glass being vertical is the issue, I'd retry it with the glass removed and laying flat. Although that's probably easier said than done.

Our dozy window cleaner rubbed grit in two of our (new) windows so I wonder if this type of thing can be used to fix it? They are scratches not dips though

Great video as always 👍I've used the rain x windscreen repair kit on my car it was an ok finish.

Control panel can probably be fixed.... It's what I do!

We have all been there mate

Over engineered jobsworths, justify thier jobs

Spot on… 💪👌

I've got a kaiweets kt360a, no problems with it, and probably on par with the Huepar (around the same price too).

"I'm pretty sure it's dead" Mouth tweaking 😂

👍🏾💙

This is collectively our own fault, we bred those lovely birds to do our bidding and when they lost their hunting instincts and became obselete we left them to the streets and u all call them rats and other names, gorgeous bird gorgeous temperment very inquisitive, might not be a crow or a parrot some kinda grand bird but they shouldnt die for no reason

Fascinating stuff. I had never heard of this before.

👎👎👎👎👎👎

I love the way you pronounce water. Thanks for the video.)

Cheers

Im pretty sure its moth moved

So invested in this, 4 years late but im gonna watch everyone 👌🏼

Mate, came home the other day, brand new floor down been away a couple of weeks opened the door shite all over the floor. Stood there speechless. Could not work out what it was at first. Pigeon sat on my light shade in the front room. Inch thick crap on the floor. Stupid bird had come down the chimney 🤯😱🤯

Fair play and good effort sunshine though you should of wet the concrete and the padstone before laying the cement to bed the pastimes it helps to make a bond between the surfaces and the cement if the surface is dry and dusty the cement bonds to s dry layer of dust and not the actual surface but non the less well done torturing to rectify your builders mistake 👍🏽

Looks like some lemmings

👍 Awesome! Thank you.

Mate 🤣🤣🤣
