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

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.

I agree with comment. I am pretty sure I cleaned mine with an alcohol wipe but failed to mention it. I was letting my repair stay in the "pressure" phase for a lot longer than the instructions stated and it eventually gave out. Still had a decent repair. Thanks for commenting.

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?

Can I leave the curing piece for longer than 15 minutes on sunny days ? Wondering if the longer I leave it to cure the better the result?
@FixItDepot22 күн бұрын
You can leave it longer. I have left it longer on some of my repairs with no issues.

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?

I think that would work. Let us know how it comes out.

@@FixItDepot We bought the Permatex kit. After cleaning the scratches thoroughly we applied a few drops to them, put the curing patch on, put the car into the direct sun and let it set for 1/2 hour. My hopes were dashed however. You would expect the scratch to be filled in, but nope. The best we could do(after multiple applications) was to reduce the blemishes about half. Might try another epoxy kit; but for now? Letting it go...thanks for the response.

Thanks for letting us know. I would have thought it would work. But at least we know not to try it. FYI, I tried it on a home window yesterday. Didn't work on it either and ended up cracking the window. The glass was so thin, when I pushed the resin container to the window it just created a long crack. Won't be trying that again lol. @@spyderlogan4992

I would scrape it off so it doesn’t affect your vision as much. It’s not hard to do and only takes a min.

Which is better? Rainx or permatex long term?
@FixItDepot Жыл бұрын
Long term I think either is fine because they are using the same chemical for filling the crack or chip. If I had a long crack to fill, I would choose Rain-x because they give you more of the clear plastic curing strips. Otherwise, either one does a good job.
