FAQs

How long does the repair take?

The repair process typically takes about 30-60 minutes, not including curing time, which may vary depending on the resin and light source.

Can I use this kit on tempered glass?

No, this kit is designed for laminated windscreens only. Using it on tempered glass will not be effective and may cause further damage.

Will the repair be completely invisible?

While the repair will significantly reduce the visibility of the damage, it may not be completely invisible. The goal is to prevent the spread of the crack and restore the structural integrity of the windscreen.

What should I do if the resin spills?

Wipe up any spilled resin immediately with a clean cloth. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Follow the safety instructions provided with the kit.

How long will the repair last?

The longevity of the repair depends on factors such as the size and type of damage, the quality of the application, and environmental conditions. Repairs can last for years with proper care.

Can I drive my car immediately after the repair?

It's recommended to wait at least 1 hour after the repair to allow the resin to cure properly, and avoid washing the windscreen for 24 hours.

Where can I buy replacement resin or tools?

Replacement components may be available from the manufacturer or online retailers. Check the kit's packaging for specific information.

Troubleshooting

Resin is not curing properly.

Ensure the curing strip or UV light is positioned correctly and has sufficient exposure time. Check the resin's expiration date.

Air bubbles are trapped in the repair.

Apply the resin slowly to avoid air bubbles. Use the included tools to gently remove any trapped air before curing.

The repair is still visible.

This is normal, especially with deeper chips. The goal is to prevent the damage from spreading, not necessarily to make it disappear completely. For best results, ensure the resin is flush with the glass surface.

The kit doesn't seem to work on a particular type of crack.

The kit is most effective on small chips and cracks. If the damage is extensive (e.g., long cracks or large impact areas), professional windscreen repair or replacement might be necessary.
