Subject:windshield resins, was: stone chips in fog lights - repairable?

thanks, i will definetely try that protective film. i have searched in the
meantime for these windshield resins that go at around $15 for a half ounce.
did anyone use them with success? the quality standards on a fog lamp are
anyway not as high as on a windshield.
then again these resins are pretty high priced for what it is.... can one
use normal resin, or resin for other applications?
