A long crack is repairable if it's made of one single line, not multiple lines and is 14 inches or less. The crack does not have

to be straight, it can be crooked, swerving left and right, "L"

chip or star break, and go to the edge of the windshield.

length of the crack. After the crack is filled we cure the resin with our

uv lights. The process takes 45 minutes to an hour to complete. Once
