Status: offline 		Thank you, E, that's the word I was trying to remember.  Windshield resin is expensive too, 40 dollars an ounce.  Or you can go to Auto Zone and get a windshield repair kit for 12.00.  In the kit you get a razor blade, 2 small suction cups, a strip of clear plastic for curing, and 1 drop of resin, so you better get it right the first time.
