FAQs

How long does the repair take?

The application process is quick, typically taking 15-30 minutes. However, the resin requires curing time, often needing exposure to direct sunlight for 10-20 minutes.

Can this kit fix any type of windscreen damage?

The kit is most effective on circular chips up to 2.5cm in diameter and cracks up to 30cm long. It is not designed for large chips, long cracks, or damage that has compromised the integrity of the entire windscreen.

Do I need any special tools?

No, the kit includes all necessary tools for application: repair resin, repair tool, and applicator. Ensure you have a clean cloth and access to sunlight for curing.

Will the repair be invisible?

The goal of the repair is to minimize the appearance of damage and restore optical clarity. While it significantly reduces visibility of the damage and strengthens the glass, it may not make the repair completely invisible, especially for deeper chips.

What should I do if the damage is very recent?

It is best to repair windscreen damage as soon as possible. Fresh damage is typically easier to repair and less likely to have accumulated moisture or dirt, leading to better results.

Can I use this kit if my car has a rain sensor or heating elements in the windscreen?

The kit is generally safe for use on windscreens with standard features like rain sensors. However, avoid applying the resin directly over sensitive electronic components. Always refer to the product's instruction sheet for specific warnings.

How should I store the remaining resin?

Unused resin should be stored in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain its effectiveness for future use.

Troubleshooting

Repair resin does not fill the crack completely

Ensure the repair tool is properly sealed against the glass and that sufficient resin was applied. For deeper cracks, multiple applications might be necessary as per the instructions.

The repair area remains cloudy after curing

The damage might be too old or too deep for a perfect cosmetic repair. Ensure the area was clean and dry before application. Try a second application if possible.

Repair tool is difficult to apply

Make sure the glass surface around the chip/crack is clean and free of debris. Ensure you are following the assembly instructions precisely.

Damage seems to be spreading after repair

This may indicate the initial damage was more severe than apparent or the resin did not fully penetrate and bond. Reassess the damage and consider professional advice if it continues to spread.
