Default Re: Getting Resin into the legs of a Star.

CrackKills windshield repair,

In addition to the other tips, are they legs of the star break connected to your impact point? Subtle flexing of the glass will reveal this. If the legs are not connected, this is a situation where drilling and anchoring with a mini bullseye is a necessity. This will create a channel for the resin to flow. Note: set the tenssion on the center puch a little higher as this would produce a better impact area.

If flexing of the glass reveals that the legs are connected to the impact area you should not need to drill as there is a channel for the resin to flow. (Drilling will become a personal prefference though). What might be happening is that you are applying to much injector pressure on the break and pinching off the legs thus preventing the resin from flowing. Is your injector cenetered over the impact? This could also prevent adequete resin flow.

I also use the same DELTA KITS B300 and Premium Bond Resin and both have served me superbly. Remember: Thread your injector till the tip seal just touches the glass, at this point give it approxinmatley 1 full rotation then use your leveling screws. This should not exert to much pressure on the damage as to choke off the legs preventing resin flow. The injector is not marked so I marked mine. This will give you a good indication of your injector full rotation.

I also want to commend you for trying to find a solution to your problem even though you were not sure about the technique. Some breaks will just be routine and others will require you to think outside the box which you did in this situation. Good for you.





Pay it foward,
