A woman became viral on Tiktok after showing how she used a repair kit for only 20 dollars to repair the windshield of her rental car, damaged by a stone.
In the video, Kat He explained that, instead of spending hundreds of dollars for repair, he decided to use the Permatex Windshield Repair Kita 20 dollar repair kit that promises to repair the broken glass of the windshield.
First of all, it is necessary to prepare the glass for repair. The first step consists in using a small gap to remove excess glass and the debris from the crack, an operation that must be performed “with caution”. Subsequently, you have to clean the area with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol.
After that, Kat applied a red adhesive around the crack. After ensuring that it was well positioned, he removed the upper layer before putting a gray funnel over the adhesive.
Kat then explained that it was necessary to insert the resin into the funny until it was visible on the top. Subsequently, he inserted a syringe in the funnel, used to remove the air bubbles from the resin.
“Insert it and pull up to suck the air for 20 minutes. Gently tap to help remove the air bubbles and remove it after 20 minutes,” Kat said in the video.
Kat then put the syringe back in the funny and injected air for another 10 minutes. “Remove carefully and use a blade to remove all stickers and resin,” he explained.
“Once clean, use more resin to fill the cracks and put the transparent lid [sulla crepa] for 15 minutes in the sun. “
After the resin dried, he used a blade to scrape the sticker and resin remaining from the windshield. “Don’t pull. Scaste simply,” Kat warned.
Finally, Kat cleaned the area with another cloth soaked in alcohol and showed the result to the spectators. “He worked perfectly,” he wrote in the caption.
The video has already received over 6 million views. But, while many praised Kat’s ingenuity, others stressed that the repair was only aesthetic and did not solve the structural damage to the windshield.
“By the way, this does nothing. It only fills the crack to hide the damage, but the glass is now structurally weaker, so it will break faster,” a Tiktok user warned.
