Re: Windscreen repair kit....anyone used one?
From what I've been told, any crack radiating beyond a "simple" star is irreparable. I don't think there is any product that can prevent the spread of a fracture of the magnitude to which you refer. There are products out there that could cosmetically "conceal" the fissure, but, once created, a crack has more strength to propagate than the glass has strength to resist it.
