Outstanding product with great results
Easy to use with great results. Watch videos about it first, then proceed. The syringe clip seems flimsy/delicate; I practiced using it a couple of times before beginning the process. Also, as soon as I inserted the resin tube into the pedestal the resin overflowed out almost immediately. There's no way to really tell what amount is in the tube and/or going into the pedestal; it would be handy if the resin tube were clear. No matter, there was plenty left in the tube for the final step. Have several paper towel squares nearby to wipe up spills. I put a full sheet around the wiper blade just below the area I was working on. After locking the plunger in step 6, I lightly tapped around the pedestal to accommodate the release of air bubbles.Finally, my nick/chip was a small bullseye type, less than the size of a dime. This product seems perfect for that type. My windshield was originally damaged while I was traveling on the interstate, at my next fuel stop I put a piece of clear tape over the area (on the outside of the windshield). A glass repair technician suggested I do that years ago when I had another incident like this. I believe it keeps moisture out until it can be repaired.

Easy to use with amazing results!
Amazing product! I've had previous windshield chips repaired by a well known national chain and those chips were just quickly filled with a resin and the technician went on their way, and the chip was still very visible. This product takes a little longer, about an hour including curing time, but what a difference! My larger than quarter sized chip is like a little dot now. The directions were clear and the product is easy to use with simply amazing results. I am very impressed with this product.

Second Time
I used this in 2022 on my windshield. Worked great could hardly see the star shaped crack when I was finished. I was really just hoping to put off a windshield replacement for a few months. Never expected I would get three years before the crack started showing back up. I am going to do it again. Expecting nothing but hoping for the same results. What I remember from the first application is to pay attention to the cut outs on the plunger and where you are supposed to push to. I, also, put a piece of cardboard on my dash, helped me see the windshield on the outside. Everything else you need is in the pack, simple process. Three years was pretty amazing, kept the crack from expanding. I truly could not see where the crack was and it was in my line of vision. Simple fix just follow the directions.

Effective DIY Repair Kit for Windshield Chips
I recently tried the Permatex repair kit on my 17-year-old vehicle after researching online. Instead of paying $95 for a professional fix, I decided to give this DIY solution a shot. Even though my windshield chip was slightly elongated, I followed the instructions and proceeded with the repair. After exposing the resin to UV light for an hour under the sun, there were still minor imperfections. I decided to apply more resin using the leftover materials, filling in the divots perfectly. The end result was a smooth and nearly flawless repair. At only $13, this kit provided excellent value for money. The process was straightforward, especially after watching tutorial videos and carefully reading the manual. I am impressed with the outcome and hopeful that the repair will stand the test of time. Highly recommend this product for quick and cost-effective fixes!

Effective Windshield Repair Kit for Bullseye Chips
I was pleasantly surprised by how well this repair kit fixed the bullseye chip on my windshield. Following the instructions carefully, I applied the product and the result was remarkable - now there's only a tiny dot left where the chip used to be. However, I have deducted a star from my rating due to the current version being less user-friendly compared to the previous one. Issues like having a cap on the resin tube and a poorly designed instruction sheet were disappointing.I recommend watching the 16-year-old Permatex video on how to apply this product for better guidance, as the included instruction sheet is not very helpful. The newer video is short and uninformative, which is a letdown. Overall, despite some drawbacks, this repair kit is still worth trying for fixing bullseye chips.

Aside from poor instructions, this kit works great. Lots of videos online to help.
This windshield repair kit worked well for me. The only issue I have is the poorly written instructions. Fortunately for YouTube, there are plenty of videos to help. My chip is nearly invisible. Hopefully it will be a lasting product that will prevent further cracking.

Works with a few limitations
Product ultimately worked but when we removed the device taped to the window there was a ton of liquid product in the tube that spilled out, luckily only on the window. I watched the videos and never saw that happen but I did use most of the tube. The product did not cure completely until plastic strip was put on it and car moved into the sun. Did not changed chip appearance that much IMO but when you run you finger across it feels like glass with no chip. Took two stars due to uncured product spilling and some missing tips to removal in instructions. Tip I saw online that needed to be in the instructions was to remove excess filler from inside out leaving the filler over chip to the end then place razor perpendicular to window and scrap side to side. This prevents you digging out filler while flattening the filler over the chip. Technique worked perfectly and you will see why when you pull the plastic square off after sun exposure. Edges of filler come up a little too showing how easy it is to pull out of chip if you’re not careful.
