I am somewhat new to WSR and was wondering about the Spectrum. I am currently using Delta and it seems like I have to fight some times with the equipment to get the air out.
Now in fairness, I have NOT attended the factory training and was trained by a guy that has been in the WSR biz for 13 years.
My questions are the following:
Does the Spectrum make the repairing process quicker?
Are the end results better looking repairs?
Please add any other comments that you think would help.
I am sort of considering the super cinch but they are not very responsive and my gut says not to invest in equipment with a non-responsive company.
Thanks alot for your help.

If they are not responsive now how are they going to be for support and supplies after they have taken your money?

GWT, glad to see you're still watching the forums and I couldn't agree more with the above post.

Sunshine,
I am here to stay in this business. I read all the forums nightly but just do not post much unless it is really important. How are your hands doing?

Hey guys,
Can you learn a little posting edicate?
Not only do you not answer the question, but then you start your own chatter. Take it somewhere else (uh like email or the phone), if you can't help.
Geeezz

tyler,
I THOUGHT I answered your question about a supplier that you said was unresponsive.
As far as Delta maybe you should call and talk to Jeff over there. I don't use Delta but have spoken with him many times and he is very helpful.
And then we can talk MANNERS!!!!!!!!

I think my next venture will be teaching reading comprehension skills to Bill D and Weldtec.
Anytime you guys want to compare professional accomplishments and have a litte money on the table, let me know.

While you are teaching you may want to teach yourself proper spelling also.
I am funny that is for sure BUT if I were you I would spend your money that you are almost certain to lose and get yourself some PROPER training with whichever system you decide to use. Almost all good techs can do good repairs with several different brand of injectors.
This business is not rocket science and is fun and profitable with good repairs and some good business sense. You will not make it carrying around that chip on your shoulder.
I was not aware that I offended your virgin feelings by replying to your first post here. I did not comment on the spectrum as I have never used it. I simply responded to your post about the cinch and if you can't get feedback from them now how will you get some after whatever company gets your money no matter whom they are.

You could have said that in the first place. Clearly (to reasonable people) my point, was a vacuum system vs a wet system and Spectrum was on my list.
I have no chip, I just don't really care for jerks to be honest.
You came off that way. May or may not be true.
Hopefully this forum is moderated on weekdays like Delta's, so guy's like you can't hijack the thread with your banter and bravado.
I'll try another thread as now there will just be arguments on chatter on this one.

GWT, My hands are good , I never had a problem with'em. You must have me confused with someone else. tyler99 sorry about the "posting edicate". By the way Hey! Bill D. tyler99 it's not the ability of the tool but , the ability of the technician to operate the tool to it's maximum capability to get the best repair results. I would suggest you call some of the other companies and feel them out. As in your first post you stated you had a "gut feeling" and that the people you spoke with there were unresponsive, well no need to call them anymore. Bill D are you still working with IPS plastic polish ? If so how do you like it? I've found one that works good without the silicone shine that washes away. Oh tyler99 sorry about the "chatter" most of my posts are usually short

No problem, sunshine. Thanks for the feedback.
I am actually planning to attend Delta training in April/May but am researching choices before I commit to it.
If anyone esle can actually add info about the Spectrum, that was the purpose of the thread.

Tyler69,
Let me get this straight. I believe you are a complete butt lick. You are ready to bet money on your professional accomplishments, and you have chosen to become a virgin newbie in the fortune making WSR business BWAaaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaaaa!!!
Yep,
The Cinch is for you.
Delta will tell you all you need to know, and you don't call them? If you can't operate their tools within a few days you have a serious problem. Where is your trainer?
Just what are your business accomplishments-I bet you won't answer!!!
Sunshine- I definately remember you-you had the balls to come to me and introduce yourself(1st time in over 15 years todate.)
I use nitrile gloves and GT acid free resins.

the spectum is an easy injector to use. I wish I had another.
simple, fast andeasy to use.
Right to the point.

Thanks GT, are the end results pretty much the same as a wet sysetm (assuming you are using both correctly) or do you get a better lookig repair with the vac system?
I know some guys are comfortable with "good" repairs but if there is a tool that will give me a better result with less time; it just makes a good biz decision.

By the way Bill D, you were supposed to answer as GlasWeld guy.....wwooppsss..looks like you forgot who you were trying to be.
Yes, everytime you talk, you prove my point.
Like I said, if you have some money to put on the table for any of the following financial items (if you even know what they are):
Net Worth
Highest Annual Income
Highest Income Earned in one month
Number of succesful ventures
Name it? I don't need to get into the name calling with you. Well, frankly, because I am a lot smarter than you. It just proves it everytime you type something.

The repair is only as good as the opperator. Don't expect the injector to make you look good. You need to know what you are doing. Saying that, the system works better that the 20/20 and the VP5000.

Guys from this time why don't we all black ball Tyler and don't give him the time of day....
let his smart ass mouth get him no input and fend for him self.
Oh sorry, OT
Don't ask for any more help if you can not respect us, you little shit head.

If solely it the operator, how can one work better than the other (the 2000) as you suggest. You are saying the exact opposite things. Actually I am kidding here.

So let me ge this straight, you are going to "black ball" me and not respond to my posts.
So far you have done the following:
- Barely addressed my original question for guidance (Reading Comprehension)
- Called me numerous names (English Skills)
- Told me it takes 3 days to learn your profession (Doesn't Take Much according to Don D)
- Hijacked the thread. (Poor Manners)
Is this how you normally negotiate?
If so, it sounds like I am getting the better end of the deal.
Respect is earned not given. I thinkin I learned that in 3rd grade. Please learn that Don ....you will make a lot more of yourself Don.

I have seen this new process first hand and to answer your question it does make a big difference in the speed as well as the quality of the finished repair. The idea is to vacuum the air out before the resin comes into contact with the glass. It is suppose to pull all the air out and make the resin go in the damage easier. I have seen the Spectrum work and was impressed, there is suppose to be another product out there that is similar to it, but I'm not sure of the name. Hope that helps

It seems to me that this WHOLE thing reeks of glass pro systems...cinch owner...think about it and how he's operated in the past.
