Maximum size chip?
I have successfully filled chips as large as a 50-cent piece; mostly bullseye combos with only one or 2 leg and not too much crushed glass at the impact site. I have also filled those peculiar "horseshoe" cracks up to 3" diameter. Depth: as long as the laminate isnt damaged, depth is not an issue with me. One the laminate is damaged, or both layers of the glass have been fractured, I recommend replacement.
I read your post again. Are you asking about the size of the entire damage, or about the pit itself? If your question is regarding the impact site, I can repair up to 5/8" using the large pit adapter. However, using that accessory deminished the amount of vacuum and pressure that can be applied and increased the repair time..often up to double normal time.
If the pit is very large, I remove as much as the crushed glass as I can before beginning the repair. I might even apply some pit resin to stabalize the fragments, then proceed. To finish up, it might take a second application of pit resin to completely fill the pit to eliminate the little dimple in the center that occurs when a larger amount of pit resin cures.
