Suzie,

Can't comment on the technicians capabilities. I will say the temp. should not have an affect on a properly repaired chip. Temperature may affect the time required to make a repair though. The resins we use cure or harden under UV light not from a specific temp.

As to your technique specific questions well...some people do things differently than others to get to the same end result. So to vaguely answer your question, yes certain repairs require drilling and others won't. If done properly you should not have a connect the dots effect. All properly repaired chips require at least one pressure and vacuum cycle and some more. The vacuum cycle is used to remove any air from the break to eliminate weak spots that would cause the repair to eventually fail.

Keep in mind that most pre-repaired damaged cannot be re-repaired. Next time find a more qualified technician. Hope this helps.

Pay it foward,
