i finally built a Sturdy Work bench!!! ruclips.net/video/CzUriCeTJ8k/видео.html
Keep up the amazing work I love you also first to reply
Now that you have a sturdy bench you have several experiments that you should do over that the looseness of the previous bench drastically affected the outcome.
i think you woulda had better results if you didnt use the blade like a hammer to skim off the resin. shoulda sliced through it like @ 19:14
Only scenario I'd see multiple hits like that would be large size hail
Yes, defost/heat can absolutely cause cracks to expand. It happened to my windshield from a chip chip was stable all summer so I didn't try to fix it with a kit like this. Winter came...defrost...crack stretched all the way across the windshield. Fortunately it does not obscure my vision and has been stable ever since the 1 crack formed.
Today on TylerTube, Tyler discovers that car windshields are significantly more sturdy than he expected.
Hso did i.
Glass is harder than steel.
@@Jexorz86 Hardness isn't really a huge factor once you're dealing with quick impulses and all. The glass is harder to scratch and would take more force to indent, but the actual energy needed to deform it to failure is extremely low. Something like a hammer can produce absolutely enormous momentary pressure, so they can even break diamonds with little effort. Like glass, diamond can not absorb much energy before failure, while metals can generally take huge amounts of energy.
@@markjacobson4248 This is true, but glass if very very hard, so you have to smack it alot harder than you think to actually crack it.
@@Jexorz86 glass is only 5.5 (house wares) to 7 (Corning's claim on gorilla glass) on the mohs scale. It depends on how its treated when formed). Hardness does not equal toughness.
You lock the plunger and create a vacuum in order to release any air traped in the crack under the resin. You then apply pressure to make sure the resin reaches and fills all the spaces.
Yep I used to do this professionally, then scrape off the thin layer of excess resin with a razor blade and it looks super clean as long as your crack isn't too big to begin with. If it is you have to replace the whole windscreen.
Did anyone expect him to understand lol
They just have a industrial vacuum that it suction itself to the windscreen instead of the adhesive strip ring
Yes, very similar idea to people who do resin casting. The vacuum helps to pull trapped air out, then pressure helps to minimize any remaining air bubbles. People who do resin casting often use things like paint pressure pots to apply vacuum and pressure.
was gonna comment this, glad I didn't need to :P
Wow i can't believe he used his windshield! That's dedication. I'd like to see headlight restoration kit for aging headlights.
100% hands down the sylvania kit. the 3m kit doesnt come close.
2nd the Sylvania kit
Project farm did it. Tbh I use Xs Motorsport head light restore kit. They all about the same. Sand and polish
Do a headlight repair kit.
Pretty sure it is not his car, his car is a Toyota something, it is a truck. This car isn't a truck at all so it is not his car. So not his windshield at all.
Tyler trying to get a write off for a whole car now lol - great video as always!
You should try to repair it with just straight super glue and see if that works I've always been curious about that
Facts
crazy/super glue works to bond the crack but also "steams up" and sheds a stubborn to impossible to remove film. That's why I don't use on broken sunglasses
@@atlasgunther8947 have you ever tried clear gorilla glue? I had to repair a jewelry display case and used that as a bonding agent between sheets of glass. I was incredibly impressed at the strength and clearness for its price as it was my last resort before bringing my superior a $300 bill for glass adhesive haha
or nail polish. The gel and polish kind.
@@keithbroh5730 you know they make a clear liquid nails for glass thats like $12 and is meant for that purpose
That last crack is under the lamination of the windshield. You need to drill a small hole at the end of the crack so it won’t spread further and then inject the resin
I know this is probably too late but I used to work at a windscreen repair company and the tool we used to use to create cracks in a windscreen (for testing purposes of course) was just a small metal ball bearing with a hole drilled through the center with an elastic band threaded through it. then you put your finger through one side and thumb through the other side of the elastic and ping the ball off of the windscreen to create consistent cracks, depending on the strength you use to pull it back.
i was gonna suggest a bb gun
This method will produce much more representative cracks and chips. Without going into too many details, glass fractures based on a pretty complex set of factors which includes previous impacts and, more critically the velocity of impact. The low velocity, high mass hammer blows will produce generally smaller chips with a larger potential for spreading cracks, where the elastic impactor method uses a higher velocity, lower mass impact which will be more likely to produce larger chips, chips with spider webs and, on the very high velocity end, chips surrounded by concentric rings and spider webs. I had been about to suggest something like a BB gun to produce higher velocity impacts, but this elastic impactor system sounds more reproducible and much safer. I suppose if you need particularly high velocity impacts, you’d have to use a smaller mass and either pull further or use more elastic. In any case, the test would also be somewhat more controlled if each product were tested on a different piece of glass, since every impact, even if it doesn’t produce visible cracks can still cause microfractures that weaken the pane.
@@Rms2015you sound smart but the thing is using an elastic band on your finger will never give you consistent results as each time u fling it will be different strength/stretch on the elastic band
BB gun would be better as that would be consistent
@@nickjeffrey8050 I hear you, but I never said the impactor should be cocked by hand. While it is true that elastomers decay slowly over time, eventually leading to less powerful impacts, this effect is small enough to be irrelevant to the test and can be remedied by simply replacing the elastic at regular intervals. While at first glance, it would seem that a bb gun would produce more consistent results than elastic impactors, the reality is that regulating a pneumatic gun to precisely the right pressure is much more difficult than replacing elastic at regular intervals. If you run the pneumatic system at perhaps as high as a few dozen atmospheres, you can get the control fairly precise, but due to the inherent limitation of pneumatically actuated projectile launchers where the velocity of the projectile cannot exceed the speed of sound in the working fluid, which itself is partly dependant on pressure, such pneumatic guns have to be run at hundreds of atmospheres, at which pressures regulation stops being precise. Add to that the safety factor of having an unsecured bb flying around at high velocity and contrast that with the elastic system which is far simpler and tethers the impactor, reducing safety concerns, and I am no longer convinced that the pneumatic system makes any sense. At least not until you need extremely high impact velocities, at which point it might be time to consider coilguns instead
This was serendipitous. My wife literally just sent me a picture of my windshield that just got struck by a rock and received a decent chip. Perfect timing my guy!!
You can't go by this anyway. He didn't follow the directions properly on any of them and the last one the crack is under the lamination so the resin couldn't get into the crack anyway. He let them cure way too long before removing the excess. That's why they all leave white spots. It's not supposed to be fully cured when you scrape it.
@@erzebet6977What, do you not drive your car around at all? the UV resin will continue to cure after the recommended time and will whiten like his test.
@@inferno7181 not if you scrape it off before it cures fully like you're supposed to do
I'm a master autoglass technician... 1) you trying to chip the glass made me flinch every time you hit it. 2) automatic center punches work very well to create a chip. 3) pulling the plunger out of the 3rd kit is called a "de-gassing phase" which not only pulls the excess glass from the chip, but also aerates the resin and makes it able to bond better with the inner cavities of the chip. Great videos Tyler... always entertaining and informative 😁
The first 2 repair kits work well but here's how to make the chip fill even better without the spider legs on them, use a lighter on the the glass for about 10 to 15 seconds going in a circular motion the heat will open up the legs and fill it in even better and most of the time you won't see it also don't run the plunger all the way in on the first shot fill up the insert like you did with about 6 to 8 drops crank it in a little but not all the way fire up the inside let it set for about a min that way the glass cools down, and when you scrape it don't scrape it the way you did spray a little glass cleaner on it and the blade vertical, that way when you scrape it, it won't pull the fill out of the divot, I've done glasswork for 20 years done it that way and 95% of the chips I've done have been almost invisible
Could you do video to show that method please!
Yea the old heads always say hit it with a lighter lol..they tell techs now not to do it haha..me personally I'd rather do the full install lol
I just take my car to a windshield repair place
@@jaskajokunen3716 I used to do windshield repair, did it for 20 years
The only thing a lighter will do is help remove any moisture in the break. Heating the glass will cause it to contract and create a false appearance like its filled in. But once its cools the glass will expand and go back the way it was. Which system do you use? And where did you get your training?
I absolutely love how Tyler's expectations of the windshield was to break at the slightest impact. It's supposed to withstand much more than a mild hammer smack 😂
The last one makes absolute total sense. You put in the resin, then create a vacuum to help the resin get to all of the tiny cracks, then release vacuum and apply pressure to help force it in there now that there isn’t air trapped by resin. Straight forward. It’s the best way as long as the resin viscosity is right.
I always wondered if the headlight cleaners work as well as they are shown on commercials
brake fluid and a scrub daddy... you can thank me later...
I can say this because these are virtually the same. At one time, I had an 05 Ford Taurus and my younger Brother upped me and got a 03 Mercury Sable. I ended up replacing the headlight assemblies and keeping the bulbs. On the Sable, I tried various headlight cleaners, but since my brother was in college and VERY cheap, I sanded the headlights back to a dull yellow and he got halogen upgrade bulbs. Getting the halogen bulbs was cheaper than the headlight assemblies. We don't own either car now.
Ive done a turtle wax kit and they worked really good. Really easy to do as well
ProjectFarm. I used the Sylvania from his video and it worked and maintained its results.
@@dunhillsupramk3 brake cleaner can clean anything 😂 literally anything
Watching you try to damage your windshield was hilarious. Thank you for testing all of this!
I'm surprised he didn't just pull out a bb gun and take a few shots at it. Those are usually pretty good at leaving decent chips.
I could watch you testing stuff all day. You're one of the few subscriptions that I actually enjoy watching and that takes me away from crippling anxiety and depression for a while
People that have depression don't go around telling everyone
@@aroundtheclock1587 But you go around telling people that you're a dick. 🤷♂
@@aroundtheclock1587 well clearly that's not true as my comment is right above ⬆️ thanks for your pointless comment though
@@OMW2FY-B u don't go around just saying it that's called attention seeking if u have depression get help rather then telling people it's not pointless ur using a real condition like depression as a way to grab someone's eye
@@aroundtheclock1587 who hurt you?
I just love how wholesome Tyler is, he is my bedtime channel and my favies
Tyler is very chaotic and also he is very creative, which is a dangerous but entertaining combination
I’ve used the rainx on a chip in my windshield and followed the instructions really well and I can barely tell where the chip was now. No one else could ever tell and I’ve had a WI/MN winter and summer and it’s still holding on good. Chrisfix has a good video as well
This is what I was looking for in the comments, the winters here in MN will kill a windshield with a crack. I was warming one of the F150s at Ripley before driving out hot lunch in the field, not knowing that the mix of heat and cold would cause the chip to quickly spread into a full side to side break with 3 branches
legend has it, if you cut a sweet potato in half and rub it over the windshield crack and then wrap it with a zuckanee ribbon. it will seal and bond the glass back together.
Smart!
It doesn't say anything about zuckanee on the packaging though
Windshield to Tyler: You crack me up!
You can even heat the inside of the window with a small butane torch and you will get a much better repair. I also like to drill the center of the chip on bigger and more complex breaks.
I'm excited to see the things Tyler does with this car I don't mind the 5min ad if it means we get to break a car
I literally fall asleep to your videos. I put on a playlist and fall asleep. For some reason its extremely satisfying
Same
I got a tiny chip in my windshield and decided to use that cheapy-cheap resin kit, and it worked pretty okay. It was just a tiny chip though. The plunger one actually makes a lot of sense; the initial vacuum is to suck out the air from underneath the resin, and then the second pressure bit would be to collapse any remaining bubbles inside the resin.
Tyler your videos are becoming a household event we love them. Could you try headlight lens cleaning kits and hacks if that has not already been suggested.
I'd like to see how they hold up against extreme temperature change in the winter after you turn your heater on. When I had a chip that's when it would turn to cracks and expand.
Would love to see a video on the types and effectivity of blinker fluid
Eyyy it's always good to see another Tyler video. I got a chip in my windshield while following a van on the highway and it used some kind of suction or something to push resin into the crack. Its still working today! Hope your day is well.
The first method is basically the same principle as Esprit repair kits, which are the best I’ve used tbf. I’ve used several different ones over the years working with Autoglass in the Uk, and National Windscreens; but that principle works the best.. all ill say is when you have the plunger screwed applying pressure to the resin, go on the inside with a lighter and heat the inside of the windscreen where you’re applying the resin on the outside, the heat makes the glass expand and opens up chanels for the resin to fill better. I’ve been to chips the size of golf balls, as long as you drill them out with a little dremal bit, use enough resin, and apply heat on the inside.. there’s not much you can’t practically make vanish 👍🏻
the fact that he sacrificed his own car for this
You don’t know that, the video hasn’t even ended for you yet
You were correct!
@@brighamruud5090 I was about to say he says it the first 10 second 😂😂
I mean, he has a truck and stuff pretty sure.
@@skylerblack6017 Lmao
I’m so grateful for people like you who are willing to sacrifice their own personal possessions to demonstrate the effectiveness of different products. It’s so helpful to know what to buy for the specific needs and what not to waste my money on. You’re the best!
I like the car test idea, there are so many repair kits for different things on cars.. one I would like to see done is the "Black car trim and plastic restorer" I have been thinking about getting some for my car, there is just so many!
The crazy thing is just a couple of hours ago I just noticed such a crack in my windshield and decided i was going to buy a kit. How strange!
Noticed the same thing the other day, think its a heat crack it starts from under the window trim not a chip.
I am in need such a product as well
Plot twist Tyler caused it
I love my Delta Ecoflow 1300! Amazing generator!
1:30 "If you're gonna fix a crack, you've gotta have a crack" - Tyler 2022.
I've had a couple of windshields professionally replaced. Both times it was noticeable where the chip had been, but it wasn't glaringly obvious. The one shop where I was able to wait in the truck while they repaired the windshield, they used the plunger method, but first they used a small dremel/drill bit to open up the center of the chip until they hit the plastic center, then injected the resin. It was slightly visible after, but never cracked.
You should do one about de-icing the windshield with boiling water. Because I'm saying that it will not crack or break the glass. Might have to wait until the weather gets cold enough, but I would like to see that tested
They did that on Garage 54
@@danielcheatham3400 oh. Well I did not see it
Id love to see a video on products that keep fog from forming on your windows, or small to medium sized dent repair 🤷
I use rainx and it helps alot
@@mandc20022 I'll look into that 🤘Thanks bro
Love to see headlight cover scratch remover/repair kits or methods. Thank you sir!
Great video, I had serious doubts about all the windsheild repair kits. As you mentioned dent pullers and paint scratch products would be good to see. I would recommend you doing TIRE REPAIR kits would make a great car product test. There are the plugs that go into the tire itself after you remove the thing that caused the flat. Compared to the "green goo" that gets pumped into the valve stem. If you can get the tire removed from the rim after product application to compare the inside result also would be awesome.
poor tyler needs some sleep. those wrinkles 😢
Testing different Tyre puncture repair kits would be good to see👌 But testing "temporary replacements" for scientific purposes of course😉would be more interesting, imagine, all you have on hand is some flex seal, maybe some alien tape, or even those plastic beads you made a shield with, different combinations with glue and tape combined. Never know, could discover something new🤣
I love the uploads and content that you create, its definitely more educational than the instructions, I also need to get that "know the difference" t-shirt in my life, keep up the good work bud🤘💙
All of those tire repair kits that inject goop into the tire to seal it are horrible. It will require a ton of labor to remove from the rim later. Absolutely not worth the trouble.
No ideas, I love anything car related though! Thank you for this vid, I have always used the plunger type, the RainX looked great.
Dude ik for a fact for everyone they skip the sponsors but this one damn im glad I watched it bc one of the very few sponsors I actually am interested
It would be cool to see you test the ceramic waxes they offer in spray bottles now like coat one fender with it and leave one without it and put them through various scratch tests to see if the ceramic coat is actually worth it. Would also be cool to see you test it versus a conventional wax.
project farm tested some..
It would be interesting to see which type of tire repair kit is the best since there are quite a few of them.
Great idea.
I would also enjoy that
Tyler: I am impressed with that
Windshield: completely shattered
Thank you for this fantastic informative reaction. My daughter bought a (not brand new) Land Rover and low and behold she got a rock chip on her windshield. She didn't want to buy a new one because she thinks they won't replace her's with all the sensors that it came with. I told her about these repair kits and I think I will share with her your reaction video. Thank you so much :)
I wonder what kinda company dont know how to replace windshield with sensors on it :D
Most windshields have sensors, cameras, heating etc these days...
I live in the uk and most car insurance companies have contracts with wind shield repair guys to do it for free. The explanation over the phone was brutally honest; it's basically cheaper to have these guys go around and fix chipped wind-shields than it is to pay for accidents with chipped wind-shields as the root cause.
You’re supposed to dig the glass from the chip. The reason they didn’t disappear completely is because they still had glass shards in the chip. I’ve repaired a ton of windshields with both techniques shown and either had no signs of repair or very very minimal.
You are on the money. You have clean out the chip completely - even drill it out and then apply. Then you will only see a light discoloring, but it is clear.
That's what I was thinking the entire time. On the other hand, I liked the way he did it because he followed the instructions exactly. And the instructions didn't tell him to do that . It should be something that they include
For the plunger vacuum thing, I think they have you do that to suck out tiny air bubbles. I've seen people who do resin casting put their stuff in a vacuum chamber right after it's poured for that reason, I bet it's the same thing.
You bet wrong.
@@maplecitydistributors5493 got a better explanation?
@@pauloday5198 I'm still sitting here trying to figure out how after watching this video, that is the comment you came up with.
You freaking slow down the chipmunk part of the crack, not the chip, and you still get freaking chipmunk. Tyler. You're freaking killing me with the amount of trolling here, bro. Omg 😂🤦♀️
Trying to put a chip into windshield needs more force. The way he started 😂😂😂😂😂
This is a great idea! Lately it seems like some of the videos have been getting a little repetitive . I can only imagine how hard it is to have to constantly think of new ideas for videos. Great job Tyler at thinking of something new and really interesting. Looking forward to more videos like this with your car. This is how you make a channel grow! Maybe even try some challenges, if you can think of any. Cover your car in flex seal or something like that lol.
This has to be one of the most tense episodes you ever done. I was just waiting for the wind shield to shatter at any moment.😵💫
It's 7.12am on a cold December morning and I'm laughing way too loud at Tyler. Cheers my friend, you are as we say in my part of the UK - A bloody legend !
A new view of the garage!
Video idea…I’ve always wanted to know what car fresheners lasted the longest. A smell strength test, testing which brands last the longest would be sweet.
i love watching these videos on a sunday with a hangover lol its become like a ritual now lol brilliant video tyler keep up the great work mate 👍
Keeping the eco flow in mind. Seems very useful!

Scratch repair, Plunger vs dent puller (if you have dent, you don't need to make one), Car rust remover?
Love watching your content. Keep up the great work. @TylerTube
Good shit man, was curious about these windshield repair kits. Suggestions for other videos: cracked dash, leather, wheel, and upholstery repair kits. Really curious about leather and cracked dash.
Your videos are always awesome! Especially when it’s the second one of the week😀
1:51 😆😆😆as SpongeBob once said “it feels so wrong but so good”
Dent repair would be cool! Also an air freshener test.
After seeing the title and thumbnail and knowing this is aTylerTube video i already know what to expect here a whole lot of destruction and broken things because Tyler likes to break things.
Beater car is a 90's elite with a sexy accordion shift boot. Super bonus points to Tyler
I've had pretty good luck with those tire hole repair kits. It even says not to use it on the side wall of a tire but I did once and it lasted the rest of the life of the tire.
I remember the ecoflow review he did, that was also a great video👍
I would love to see headlight restoration kits compared! Or maybe diy restoration tricks
different types of seat cleaners, scratch and dent removal, headlight lens repair, rearview mirror repair kits (like if your old rearview mirror fall off), different ways to attach a license plate to front and rear bumper. That's all for now but I've got more ideas that I'll leave on next video
A car series is gonna be great, looking forward to it
I did these professionally for a couple years. We drilled a small divot into the very middle of the chip to help the resin penetrate all the way to the edges to prevent cracks from coming off. I did them on the cars of everyone in my family and I never had a crack spread from a normal chip after a repair. It does still happen, though. After you do these for a while you can start to see where the repair didn't take in one of the spider legs and you have to go after that spot with a second repair to keep it from spreading. You can also attempt a repair on a crack by preforming a repair at the very end. On some major cracks I'd drill through the entire first layer of glass right at the edge of the crack and fill it. That had about an 80% success rate for making it not spread. Most insurance that helps with windshield replacement cost will completely pay for rock chip repairs because it's a lot less expensive than a new windshield. A professional repair out of pocket is usually pretty inexpensive as well. With all the factors together I'd recommend just having it done by a shop. The experience of the person doing the repair is worth the extra money and most of the time it'll be free (for you) anyway.
Oh, and if you had let that first one cure before you started making that second chip you probably wouldn't have had that long crack spread in the first place.
tyler destroying his daily....Im unREASONABLY PUMPED for this right now
That 2nd to last one is my favorite one to use
This video was a 30 minute guide to needing to replace a whole windshield instead of repairing chips lol still appreciate the effort to show the products though.
Brands should start using Tyler in their informercials. "If Tyler can use it, so can you", he can be the new caveman LMAO
Never thought I'd see you doing crack. Great video.
There are many repair kits available such as:
Paint chip, scratch, faded paint, headlights, chrome, vinyl, fabric, carpet wear and stain. Go nuts.,
insurance company "so how did your windshield crack?"
Tyler "mmmm, i'm not sure, i think a screwdriver and a hammer hit my window."
This was fun. Cant wait for the other car DIY videos 🥳
it was interesting to see how well protectors work for the windows on the car. whether they keep their promises when the car is attacked. with baseball bat, crossbow, slingshot, katana, and other stuff. maybe that would be an idea for a new video with the car :)
"Where's Tyler?"
"He's in the garage smashing his own car with a hammer"
"I'm glad everything is normal"
I too am curious about the defroster or heater in the cold....I think for a temporary fix they would work
the way you did it
Give a try at wrapping the car! Or diy paint! Thank you for the videos 👍👍
I'm only a 53 seconds in and I'm calling it, the rain-x one is going to work. I haven't tried this specific product but I've tried multiple of theirs and every single one has been awesome.
When my son was 6 years old, he was playing around and took one punch at our front windshield and completely cracked and spider webbed the whole one side. Dude is smacking it with a hammer over and over and over and it won't crack at all lol
Two 30 second unstoppable ads then Tyler throws a full 5 min and 15 second sponsor at us sheeeeeesh
Used a cheap one on Amazon to fix a small crack and once a tony chip, worked very well both times for a fee dollars, the Rain X one.
I've used them and used a heat gun on the inside to slightly heat the glass and they worked very well.
I'm excited for the potential the car has for future content
For any future uses. Cars have tempered glass which is much stronger than regular glass. Tempered glass is made by cooling off the outside the glass quicker than the middle. Making the middle extremely strong. Trying to make these chips in the center would have gave best results. If you tried to do a chip in one of the corners, the ENTIRE GLASS would shatter. It’s kinda cool.
This man is a menace 😂😂💀 love the content. Rare footage of Tyler actually following instructions.
I remember that a couple of years ago my dad did one of those resin and plastic sheet things.
A friend of mine used to do windshield repair. With a long crack he said it could be repaired but you’d see a blurry line and it would look worse. What he said to do was drill a tiny hole at the end of the crack and fill in with the resin to prevent the crack from spreading.
Small cracks he would also drill with a dremel. Low power and very slow them fill with resin. It would look much better than these kits. All you’d see is a tiny pinhole the size of a bic pen tip.
Also most insurance companies will do a claim for 2 repairs a year and it’s part of the insurance. It won’t raise your rates. They’d rather pay for a repair than a new windshield claim. He charged insurance $50 with no cost to you or $20 cash without insurance.
