How to Repair and Coat Auto Glass

Repairing auto glass may just be the simplest repair you can make to your vehicle. Since auto glass was made to withstand pressure and the force of small objects hitting it at high speeds, the risk of the glass shattering is low. However, if a scratch should occur for any reason, you can easily repair it with liquid resin.

Instructions

    1

    Mix up a cleaning solution of mild detergent and water. Wash the glass off with the solution using a soft cloth. Allow it to air-dry.

    2

    Remove other buildup by wiping the glass with a cloth soaked in denatured alcohol.

    3

    Remove any shards of glass in the scratch. Use the sharp corner of a razor blade to pick the pieces out.

    4

    Place the syringe tip into the resin bottle, draw back on the rubber end and watch it fill with resin.

    5

    Fill the crack with resin. Allow it to overflow so you know it is completely filled; you can remove any excess once it dries.

    6

    Wait a few hours for the resin to dry then scrape off any dried residue from the glass surface with the razor blade.
