I am in Yreka CA today and tomorrow morning. Then I go to Sacramento tomorrow. The Sacramento Safelight can't see me until Monday. BUT...

I am heading for Santa Clara Saturday morning. So now I have to wait until next week to get it repaired.

I am worried about the chip becoming a crack while driving for the next few days. If it does, the repair becomes a replacement which will cost me my $1K deductible.

What I am wondering is if it would be wise to put a piece of duct tape over the chip to "stabilize" it. Do you think that is wise?
A friend had a chip on their car windshield and went to OREILY and picked up a repair kit for under 20.00

He said it only took about 10-15 minutes to do and you couldn't even see the repair.

It has held up for seven years now. Just an idea.
