In the Navy we used to stop cracks from growing in aluminum engine fairings on aircraft in this same manner, drilling a hole at the end of the crack.
I have done what you did in the video my friend. Cept I used gorilla super glue. No spreading and no yellowing. In July it will be 3 years. But thanks for your videos. They are the best on the web. 🙂👍🇺🇸
So, make a cooling solution out of antifreeze and water. Dip the bit regularly, and avoid overheating the glass as you drill it. I neglected to say, I have 35 years in the automotive, and commercial glass business…
Great video Moe! Thanks for making and sharing.
rock tore me up on the way to work Thursday night.. seen this last night, had to run to harbor to get the bit for my dremel... im still iffy if I got it stopped, but I damn sure tried!
I'm already sharing this video with buddies if they end up with a crack
Thanks for doing this video, I did this last winter on my car. I used the cheap harbor freight 10.00 rotory tool. It had the bits with it. Put it in a ziplock bag and keep it with my tire plug kit. Repair is still good.
Awesome
so you used a general purpose steel tip bit and not a diamond or carbide tip. And was still easy enough?
Yes as of today 2/26/2024 repair is still good no change no additional damage. Oh and always carry the small one time use superglue just in case you cant fix right away. Put it on and don't scrape off even though you want to till you can drill and get the stress off the crack in the window.
Terrific idea!! The best news is, I have all the materials and tools required.
Brilliant, straightforward, simple instruction. Thanks mate
Thank you for the information. Have a great day.
Appreciate showing your knowledge!!!
Brilliant hack, my friend!
Another valuable video and lovable Ginger displaying her talent, she sure can jump. 👍
She gives up at anything higher. I think she could though.
Gonna try using the diamond bits next time I've got a crack. The glass cutting bits alway seem to want too much pressure and I end up chasing the crack until I've done more damage than repair.
Thanks for sharing that with us.
Good Tip!
Stay well, Joe Z
Thanks!
As myself a professional Glazier most of my adult life,i highly rate this video.
For his weight,Ginger is very agile.
More tricks please.
Maybe Ginger can be shot from a Cannon and land in next door neighbors pool ?
Great video! Love the dentist drill pic! You could do hours of video with the dog and have millions of views. Keep up the great work.
Ginger's a Wonder Dog!
Awesome, the crack repair video is a worthwhile watch as well.
Thanks man
Excellent video!
My daily (Toyota Yaris) has cracks all over the place... wish I would have done this a while back. This (very cold) winter, and the defrost made for sheer hell on it.
This isn't about cracks, but since you usually can fix anything, please do a video on how to stop blow up spas that leak down air. Wonder if there is a product like slime that could work? I've looked can't find anything. Cheers.
Whoa I do this to cracks on my drum kit cymbals
Same principal with a crack in plastic or steel. Drill a stress relief hole at the end to stop the crack, then weld it up or it will keep on cracking.
In Florida windshield replacement is covered by auto insurance no deductible.
Every state you can choose to pay for coverage and generally it's included if you have full coverage. I choose to never pay full coverage nor the comprehensive that covers windshields.
Great work dude.😄😄
Crack Hack ... very useful, great info. Thanks!
Hows the crack did it spread?
If this was AZ you would of been pulled over already and gotten a ticket. I had a small 5 or 6 in crack at the top of mine and they pulled me over for it which is ridiculous
I just watched your other video on the repair of the crack on the RV which was 8 years ago. How long did that solution work? Did the crack expand past the stop drill hole?
The crack is the exact same. Still have the same windshield in it.
Great video. I like that cordless dremel.
It's been handy.
Good video. Living in Alaska with no vehicle inspections and rocks all ober the road, probably 40% of windshields are cracked. My Tundra windshield has been cracked for the last 3 years. How does the fluid crack repair do in -30, -40 temps?
It just takes a little more time to fix, just a short drive down to Florida for a few days until the vehicle warms up, do the repair then return home, easy peasy
Can't say I've ever done it below 0 F.
I've never had issues with repaired glass in cars that are in -20 to -30C winters. In heated windscreens it's common to get them damaged virtually at the second of glass cracking. Usually just one circuit remains ok.
Please tell people how to stop construction, painters, plumbers crack from spreading
Very witty.
Full marks for effort.👍
👍👍👍Brilliant Thank you.
Cool
Have you got a video on polishing out scratches on windscreens
I've never videoed myself doing it, but I probably should do a video on it.
@@sixtyfiveford I have a very light scratch right in the line of vision on my wifes car. Caused by birds attacking their own reflection
nice , thanks . i remember seeing a tip of being able to make the crack turn toward the direction you choose , so you could stop it from going where they all want to (right in your view) . unfortunately , i cant remember how it is done . anyone know ?
Just have to push on the opposite side of where you want the crack to go..so of you want it to go up push below the crack, want it to go right, push on the left of the crack, and so on..
@@staffordshires2 thanks .
Great tip. My 03 Silverado had the worst windshield ever. If a rock just looked at it, it would crack. Did you get your pavers in yet? At the end of the video I could see some like form sticks sticking up? Thanks man! 👍
Still putting down pavers. I got them all laid, just need to cut a few and cement in all the edges.
That "jelly" layer you were mentioning is actually a layer of plastic. Just thought you'd like to know. :)
👍
what speed setting is the best?
Whatever you're comfortable with. I found midway(3) to be where I like it.
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
"Of course I have four feet. I can count!"
One way to keep a crack from speading......move to a tropical climate. Cold weather spreds a crack faster than anything because the first thing you do when starting your car is turn your defroster on and that warm air meeting a below freezing windshield will spred that crack by inches a day.
Also just get the windshield replaced because even if you stop the crack, the cops will still pull you over for a cracked windshield. That is considered a safety hazzard and you'll then be forced to replace it and then spend more money on the fix-it ticket you got to resolve the issue.
Looks like Ginger hopped at the wrong time and cracked the glass. Oh well. BLESSINGS to yall!
👍👍
If one has gotten just rock chip, don't buy this kit, buy one with syringe and vacuum cup so you can try to pull vacuum and then release resin inside the damage area. Much more effective.
Agree to disagree. I hate the syringe kit and find it ineffective.
@@sixtyfiveford interesting. I've never had issues with them. Bit fiddly to work with.
@@sixtyfiveford I found it worked REALLY well for *one spot. one time.* and then became useless. But I think the results would be *just as good* with the suction cup style kit.
Get that dog a fat steak. Cool dog. Oh, nice hack on the windshield too..
sets up in 5 min??? never seen it dry that fast... same brand.. prob 3-4 kits ...you must have better sunshine :)
In direct sunlight it's closer to 30 seconds.
That crack is so sensitive 😂
( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
crack is whack
virtually fuel poof 1:17
virchally full poof haha
I would rather they were full poof if I had to pay so much for them. I don't think half poof stuff is worth the $$$
👍
