Nimrodmk8 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I'm hoping to repair it myself, it's only a small chip, I repaired one in the past and it was nice and hot, main question will it cure without UV light? or will it still dry with heat from a hairdryer, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimrodmk8 Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Ignore the question, I spoke to a mechanic and he said I need to UV Light to cure the resin and I can borrow one this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Does your insurance not include free chip repairs or cover the cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will need to double check my insurance, I thought it easiest if I did it, the chip is tiny, just annoying as it's on the drivers side.

My insurance usually rips the customer off at any opportunity, but stone chips are repaired 100% free of charge, unusual that LOL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizer Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I've successfully fixed chips without a UV Light, It may have taken longer to cure though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimrodmk8 Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 Stone chip repaired nice and smooth on the outside, still shows a little, but not as bad and will stop water getting behind the laminate, yes the access on my car insurance £25 for repair and £95 for new windscreen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
