Step 1
Gather your tools. Have cellophane patches and a couple of resins, an anaerobic resin and a pit resin like Stone Chip or Chipfix, Inc. that work with ultraviolet light. You also need a UV light. Pull out a regular razor blade to scrape the glass and most importantly for windshield repair will be the bridge.

Step 2
Understand the process of repairing a windshield of make of. Windshields have two layers of laminated glass. When a rock or something hits the windshield, air gets in between the two layers, which will make the break contract until you have a long crack across the windshield. When the resin is injected inside the break, the bridge fills up the cracks while at the same time it pulls out any air that has been caught between the glass layers.

Step 3
Use Ultraviolet light to cure the resins at two different stages during windshield repair. In windshield repair you are working with anaerobic resin. Air won't cure anaerobic resins like it will do with other types. Ultraviolet rays from the sun will work as well, but if you are in a garage or it's not a sunny day, you'll need the UV lamp.

Step 4
Apply the first layer of resin inside the two layers of glass with the Bridge after you've drilled out the break. With the Bridge attached, use a UV lamp to cure the resin.
