Jason, The resin I purchased from you on Ebay is the best, I've repaired several bull eyes but having trouble with cracks they fill in but only last for a short time before starting again.I'm a learning do-it-yourself . I do need better equipment but too cheap to spend a lot for just my own needs. Thanks again,Jack

i like to use a thicker resin for cracks. not much thicker, but it does make a crack look better. i stopped a 18 inch crack on my camry with just three drill holes, including the original star hole. the deal with that is, the resin will flow a certain distance and then when you look at your repair, you'll see resin has gone three to six inches (after several cycles). you need to cure that, and then drill about an inch away from where your resin filled in and where the air begins. drill into the air part about an inch away, and setup your injector again. another few inches should come out. rinse and repeat.

there will be a 'scar' or evidence of where the crack was, but if you got all the air out, it should not spread. the most important part of it to get perfect is the part toward the center of the windshield or both ends. take your time when working on those parts, and use extra cycles cause if it's gonna spread again, it's gonna be at the ends.

hope this helps.
