Cracks
Step 1Start at the bottom end of the crack working upwards, where possible. Inject the repair resin directly into the crack, slowly and smoothly using the tip of the resin bottle. Let thr repair liquid move through the crack automatically in the glass (capillary action). View crack at 45degree angle to ensure the crack is beginning to be repaired. If the crack is disappearing then continue working up the crack until finished.

Important: While the repair resin is still in
liquid form, the index of the refraction is different
from that when it cures and hardens. The crack will
still be visible at certain angles, so watch at 45degree
to get best results. Attention: Be careful to work very slowly when repairing cracks. If any air pockets remain in the damaged glass during the repair, the quality of repair will be poor and still be visible upon complet ion. Never leave air in the crack, repeat step 1 untill all air is expelled. This may take a few attempts. |
Step 2
Run more repair resin up the crack, covering
the crack with curing strips as you go. When
applying curing strips, be careful not to apply any pressure to the
glass, as this may allow air back into
the crack. Then expose to direct sunlight or use a UV light
(not included) for 5 ~ 10 minutes to ensure resin becomes hard.
TIPS FOR REPAIRING CRACKS Some
times you will find it difficult to inject repair resin into the
crack directly. This is because the space between the crack in the
glass is very tight, all that needs to be done is the space between
the crack in the glass needs to be expanded. Don’t give up, here is
a tip that should help.
STEP 1: Using the repair device
supplied in the kit, mount it on the inside of the glass (opposite
side to the cracked glass) and locate the crack in the centre of the
hole in the applicator base. (Fig 1)
STEP 2: Screw the resin chamber
into the applicator base, so that the rubber head make very gentle
contact with the underside of the glass. Continue to screw the resin
chamber very carefully (and very slowly).This will cause the crack
to open slightly. Repeat the repair process, if the repair is still
difficult screw the resin chamber a little more until the repair
becomes possible. (Fig 2)
CAUTION: Applying to much
pressure to the underside of the crack will cause it to spread and
become unrepairable.
