Let Cadillac of Portland Help Repair Your Windshield
Cadillac of Portland Lloyd Center can help. Give us a call at (503) 200-2535 and ask us any questions you might have.
Is it a Large Crack or a Small Scratch?
Should your window have a chip that looks similar to a bull's-eye, a B.B. chip or a flowered chip, then an epoxy resin could very well be a simple quick solution in order to save you money, which can either be done by a repair technician or by yourself, at your house, with a window repair kit.
If you can run your fingernail across the crack and it doesn't get snagged, and if the chip is less than 1-inch, then a lower viscosity window resin can be employed in the repair process, meaning if you're comfortable restoring your windshield yourself, an at home repair kit will be enough.
Should you have spider web cracks or any surface area damage greater than an inch, you'll presumably need to replace your entire window to avoid the glass from splintering more. If you're uncertain of your windshield repair needs, call Cadillac of Portland at (503)200-2535 and schedule a consultation to have our certified Cadillac mechanics take a look.

What is The Difference Between Epoxy Windshield Repair and Auto Glass Replacement Services?
Epoxy is a liquid bonding agent that can seal chips in your windshield. There are a number of epoxies, ranging from 20 to 2400 cps - a measurement of viscosity. Epoxy resin treatments are temporary fixes and can leave subtle blemishes on your windshield. Auto glass replacement indicates the complete replacement of your windshield. Full window replacement is more expensive than epoxy fixes as a direct consequence of labor costs and the price tag of an entirely new, more sturdy, sheet of glass.

For the Portland Self-Repairer - Repair with Caution
It's strongly recommended to never attempt to restore your windshield yourself if you do not have a lot of experience working with the tools associated with changing windows or applying epoxy. The reason for caution is basically that you want to avoid creating any more harm to your windshield or to yourself, and you want to make sure the repair method you finally choose is the proper repair.
Resins are graded based on viscosity. Lower viscosity - the level usually obtained in at home repair kits - indicates the epoxy is thinner while higher viscosity resins have a relatively thicker, commercial-grade epoxy. Commercial-grade epoxy resins along with the tools required to administer the resins commonly are not sold in shops. At home windshield repair kits usually do not offer industrial quality epoxy resins, this means retailer epoxy resins are inclined to have a very limited repair success. .
