Re: Headlight Restoration-new UV sealant idea
Hi, this is my first post in this Forum, so it can be that this topic is been raised before.
I’m looking for a good lasting UV sealant, I have tested opti Lens and Ever wear.
I see that Glassweld have a system as mention before here, it looks more like Ever wear but I struggled to get that one streak free and it needed 24 hours cure time.
So my question is, is this Glassweld a good UV protection product, long lasting?
I see you can buy this UV cure lamp for this system too will that reduce curing time?
It’s expensive to by this set, so I want to be sure if this is the way to go

I don't know the answer!
BUT UV-cured adhesives have now appeared on the shelves of hardware and home-improvement stores with their matching UV lights; so MAYBE more such products will be coming to the market soon.

Welcome to AG Andrč!
I don't know about the Glasweld kits, but a UV light should reduce curing time. More so in the winter and indoors, depending on where you are in the world. I may be wrong, but I believe it could reduce it to a fees hours or possibly less.
If you decide to use it, let us know how it works out.

Re: Headlight Restoration-new UV sealant idea
Thanks
I have sent some E-mail to Glasweld and the say you need approximately 20 min with UV curing lamp and the car can be used after that. So for me that’s sound better from what I have tested before, but still not sure how difficult it will be to apply this without getting streak, one way to find out, buy one for test

Re: Headlight Restoration-new UV sealant idea
I currently used both the glassweld and the deltakit infinity 4.1. I really like both systems however, I feel that the glassweld system always leaves a much more clear looking lens, plus after you wetsand, you just apply the resin, let it flash, so whatever streak you get goes away in the flashing period and then turn on the UV light.

Thanks how long is the flashing period for this product before you use the lamp? It looks like I’m going for this Glasweld system, decision will be made tomorrow

Re: Headlight Restoration-new UV sealant idea
Flashing period is dependent on environment. Temperatures and humidity can change that. For the most port it can be anywhere from 2-10 minutes. I'm in California so when it's warmer it's usually a bit faster

In terms of longevity which one would you say typically lasts longer??
