so I read online around April 1st that you can fix a cracked cell phone using a windshield repair kit naturally even though it was April 1st I was intrigued and I decided to try it on my own even if it didn't end up fixing the cell phone at least I got to learn the basics of car windshield repair the iPhone 5c is 100% functional except for the cracked glass on top of the screen and the repair kit comes with a glass Risen and plastic shields that help the resin cure smoothly over the crack in your windshield first I'm going to go ahead and clean the screen off the point of windshield repair is to get the resin in between the glass chunks inside the glass itself and this makes the crack effectively disappear normally on a car you would use some suction cups and a pressure pump to squirt the resin down into the chip or crack but with a cell phone the added pressure might crack the LCD so I tried to V down into the crack with a little razor blade hoping that the resin would absorb in once the resin is applied I can put the plastic curing strips over the top this helps cure the glue when placed under sunlight with UV light from the Sun the glue will dry or cure within 5 or 10 minutes with this UV light from my shop it'll only take about two or three minutes to cure after the glue is cured you can peel off the plastic and scrape the hardened resin off with a razor blade the windshield resin did not hide the cracks completely but it did make the cracks much smoother it also made the phone smell toxic so that's a plus when holding it up to your face so it looks like the myth is more or less busted a windshield repair kit works well on windshields but not on a cell phone one thing I would do differently if I try to do this again and see if I get more pressure on the glue to force it down inside of the crack and help it hide better either way it was a fun project I learned something new and hopefully you did too hit that subscribe button if you haven't already hope see you around you
