I am not a chemist so on the surface it appears to be someone trying to cover up the damage for resale purposes or a hack with a naive customer. With that said, does any one have a background in chemistry and know if the physical properties of these chemicals when mixed together might have bonding characteristics?

I remember techs talking about UV redirection using mirrors so this should be within the realm of possible discussion.

Hey Brent, I gonna be very upset if that is what is in my Magna Bond all these years! lol

I guess this is what happens when you smoke crack and try to repair them at the same time!

Funny video though!!!

Now you know my secret!

Seriously though, there are some amature chemists making resins in their kitchen sink and selling it to unsuspecting technicians. There are also a lot of resins that were formulated for other purposes being marketed as windshield repair resins. Regardless of what brand you use, I would recommend that you insist on material safety data sheets for any resin you use. It's no big secret what chemicals are used to make the best resins, so there is no reason for any reputable supplier to withhold that information.

Although the chemicals used in the best resins are similar, or the same in many cases, the formulation of these chemicals varies greatly, determining the performance and price.
