Default Tint Band Chips

Sometimes I have a very difficult time seeing what I am doing when repairing in the tint band. A mirror doesn't help much if at all and the only way I can really check on progress is to look from inside.

I have wondered if a light shining from the inside might make things a little more clear. I think if the light was coming through from the inside it might make it look more like seeing it from the inside with the light coming from outside.

Any comments or ideas???

the light does help you see better but sometimes it will make the cracks look like they are not filled.
I use a white sheet of paper taped to the inside of the windshield. i make sure its touching the glass and that makes the cracks show up good.

Thanks for the tip.
I'll have to try that. This sounds really good to me, really practical.
