| When this is all over, when they peel the metal tank away, will they have a gigantic clear block of material? |

| Ooh, like when a bottle of Krazy Glue dries out? I kinda hope so... |

| ▲ | dlcarrier 10 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | This is also how glass chip repair works. If the polymer has a close enough index of refraction to the glass, it's invisible. | |
| ▲ | MisterTea 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I've been told this is a cheap way to fix small windshield cracks. Never tried it but sounds like it would work for the small spider sized and shaped cracks from small rock impacts. | | |
| ▲ | tjohns an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | This is basically what the glass repair kits sold at auto parts stores are. (They also include a suction cup with syringe, to vacuum any air bubbles out.) | |

| ▲ | gus_massa 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I expect something with a lot of small bubbles and cracks, also it also overheated and got weird decomposition and reactions, something like a overcooked/toasted meal. Reusing a comment that I made in a previous thread: For comparison, there is a nice video by NileRed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phNLecfyWS8 He is making Bakelite that is a type of plastic. It's a tiny amount, in a lab, on purpose and he may make a few attempts. Anyway it overheat and instead of a nice piece of plastic he got a nasty block of foam with burned plastic. No imagine a huge tank of a similar chemistry reaction. |
