Auto Glass Repair
Stone chips or Auto glass repair is the key method of prolonging the life of your glass.The chip is drilled at the exact spot of impact known as the impact point into the middle layer of the glass. Then an injector is placed on top and the liquid glass resin is injected to fill the stone chip. The result is the strength of the glass is returned and this leads to having less chance of spreading. The auto glass repair doesn't always make the stone chip disappear.
The impact point will always be visible but minimized. In some cases the stone chip does disappear but because glass cracks differently each time it is hard to predict where the liquid will go once injected. But even if your stone chip is still visible the resin inside is holding the crack and preventing the spread.
Quick temperature changes on the auto glass may cuase a stone chip to spread. Customers are to take precaution in the harsh Canadian winters we get in Toronto.
