    OK looking for all you out of the box thinkers out there, I need your creative out of the box ideas! In another thread I mentioned that my side window deflectors scratched the outside upper 1/2" edge of the glass as it contacts the plastic in channel deflector. I checked with a glass company who repairs scratched glass today and found out that tempered glass scratches cannot be removed. So, I'm looking for some way to conceal them that just looks like another custom touch if there is such a thing out there. I will always have scratches as I live and drive on gravel roads every day. I thought about 3-M chip guard film but its so clear, the scratches show through just the same. Front side window tint is against the law here in Vermont. Any other creative ideas short of just living with and looking at it every day?

    norland will fill them in but it takes prep and setup and strong UV of the correct frequency to set it. but if done right, scratches filled in, and optically correct

    I use norland to set tritium vials into gunsights

    yes it is norland costs a ton and goes bad in 2 months so use it or lose it.

    typically one person buys a container, and resells smaller amounts, to make it cost effective for those of use who don't crank out glass repairs, lens fixing, or glass artwork as a full time jorb
