proventing windshield crack spread
My 96 150 has a small (dull pencil point) sized nick and I want to keep it from spreading, has anyone tried to use any products (that worked) to keep this from happening.

I should specify: This is a rock chip. It has spirdered out a little and has 5 (1/16"-1/8") crack lines splintering from the center. I don"t know how long it has been there or if it has grown, it was hiding out of sight in front of my rearview mirror. What do you think, fixable or time to throw in a new windshield? Thanks in advance for all the help.

The pressurized epoxy stuff is fairly cheap and will work for quite a long time under normal driving. The pressure is used to force the expoxy into the cracks.
From your description it sound like it would work well.
If you have glass coverage on your insurance, they will pay you to have this done over replacing the windshield btw. (well they used to, its been a few years)
