The invention could be a windshield repair kit comprising a laminate having a protective barrier film, an adhesive layer, and a peel-able cover, the protective barrier film having at least one side to which the adhesive layer is applied, the adhesive layer being capable of cured in a presence of a UV light; the peel-able cover removably covering one or more exposed portions of the adhesive layer; a covering that removably receives the laminate, the covering reducing the transmission of UV light to the adhesive layer to a level that prevents the UV activation of the adhesive layer while the laminate is within the covering.
