The best repair system ??

[glassfix]

Hello all,

First of all, English is not my native language, i hope you understand it.

I have been doing WSR for about 5 years now and have worked with several systems.
One of the most common WSR system here is the Duobond.
I also have a system from glassperfect and other systems.

As we know, all systems works the same, vacuum and inject resin with some heating if necessary.
Some work better than the other because it has more vacuum or more pressure.
But with all systems that i have worked, i never repair as nice as some other company's do.

Sometimes a customer comes to me and is pointing me his damage to his windscreen, i look and i only see the small pit so i tell the customer that this is only a small pit so it won't crack.
But then I look better and see that it was a huge star from about 8cm (3,14")
You only can see some very tiny hair cracks, so very thin ! really amazing !
You really wouldn't see it, even when it is in sight when you drive the car.

Now I wonder who has repaired this crack and with what system.

Ofcourse we will never find out who has repaired this specific crack, but maybe that some people here know more about this very good WSR system.
Or maybe some can advise me a better WSR system than I have now.

Thank you.

Try Glass Medic or Esprit repair kits they work fine but its not always the kit it depends on the resin you are using too try not to heat the chip up try rubbing the resin in from the inside with your thumb it works believe me.

glassfix,

:? I'm not understanding why you mentioned heat is used sometimes...it's my understanding that an even glass tempurature is vital for a successful repair.

Not in all cases it depends on what make of resin you use some is thicker than otheres and will not run in the cracks so if you heat it up it makes it thinner and it will run in easier rubbung with the finger opens the crack slightly thus helping the resin run in.

Wouldn't using a thinner resin be more resonable over using heat? I still think heat has the potential to cause more problems for a sucessful repair. Yes/no?

I personally have had sucess using hest only when I felt I had no other resources. The only problem I have had, is making sure you heat evening. In fact, instead of heating the glass, we have started putting the resin on the defroster in the trucks to warm it some. Seems to help. We try to avoid all of this if at all possible, but sometimes it seems you gotta do what you gotta do. The repairs have still been sucessful & looked extremely well afterwards.
