Use your metal probe to open the base of the legs. After you have your bridge in place and run a couple of cycles. Use your probe to gently(you will get the feel for it) apply pressure as close to the base(next to the injector) of the leg as you can. If you don't see resin flow into the leg slowly apply more pressure until you see resin flow into the leg. when it begins to flow in hold there and watch it run into the leg. When the resin stops flowing any farther (or reaches the end of the leg) release the pressure. Move on to the next leg of the star. This won't take as long as it sounds. Typically when you apply pressure on one leg the leg opposite it will also open up. After you have finished with all the legs cycle the injector a few more times. Continue with the repair as you usually do. Keep in mind to apply gentle pressure first. The resin you are using will work great for this type of repair. It's not the resin I use for this type of repair, but I have used it for star repairs and it works great. Temperature of the glass would be a more important factor to consider. The colder the glass the harder it will be to get the resin to run into the legs. It however is not necessary to get the glass hot. Hot glass will make putting pressure on the legs very tricky.
