Joe,
I tried this system on a windshield defect and in my hands, it partially
worked. Basically the trick is to create a vacuum in the crack so the
resin is sucked into it. Obviously, if the vacuum is not complete, the
resin doesn't replace all the air. Still, it filled in 2/3rds of the
crack and hasn't expanded.
Good luck and let us know how well it worked for you.
