Ok, here's how it works. This is so cool.
First off you need a brand new razor blade that has never been used. You need a UV Shield or something that blocks the Sunlight. You need a curing peice of tape (Not the square plastic curing strips, they won't work), and the pit resin.
Ok, just so you all know, this will not work on chips that have a large surface area. This is for small impact area's, or drill holes.
First thing you do is fix the chip (Obviously). Place the UV shield over the impact and drill area. Take your resin and put a drop in the drill hole and make sure all the pit is filled with pit resin. WARNING: just use enough to fill the pit, don't put a lot of excess resin in. Then while the resin is still in liquid form, take the new razor and angle it at a 45 degree angle and go over the chip making the liquid smool with the windshield. You will have to go over it a few times. BTW have the blade facing away from the chip as you go over it, like in a reverse angle. Take your towel and wipe away any resin on the glass around the chip. Then take the tape and put it over the chip. Let it cure and remove. You might have to take a razor to the area around the chip for what your towel missed just don't go over the impact area. Take a towel and clean the glass. Walla.... you now have a impact area that should be smooth as the glass and clear. No scrap marks.
P.S. You will need to practice this about 20 or 30 times until you get the hang of it. Once you do, you will be absolutly amazed how well this works. I have customers that can't even find the chips anymore since I have been using this technique. Let me know how this works for you all.
