Default Re: meadville

I have tired to repair cracks about 3 or 4 times with no success. All of them have been on cracks about 4 to 8 in" long.

Some ran from bottom going up and from left to right. I drilled a hole a little above the end on the crack. And use the crack expander to push the glass open and it ran about 2 more inches pass the drill hole.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":(">

I was able to save myself because I was able to fill the area it ran pass about 2 in". I also explained to the customer before the repair that I would be attempting to stop the crack only.

What is the correct way to repair a crack about 4 to 8 in"?<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> And when is the time to use expanders? <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin">
I want to do better and will get another windshield to practice on!

Need your help and if you have a way of repairing cracks and don't want to share on the forum then email me at rickyreed@hotmail.com your instruction.
