Re: Plate Glass Repair
I've provided a few of these plate glass BB shots repairs in the past for party store and gas station owners. Unfortunately, I never had much luck getting what I thought was a fair charge for these repairs. (most I could get was $45 for first and $15 for additionals) but hey...this is Detroit! I don't provide them anymore because of that. Business owners around here will just shoot some silcone in break and live with it to save money.
It's not that they were difficult but they do take more time than a normal windshield repair and will require much more resin (the amount of resin used on plate glass BB repairs is 10-20 times that of a windshield repair). Is there money in it? I suppose there is if you can charge and get more in your area for the service then I've been able to.
Resin? Brent can correct me if I'm wrong but it's the same resin used in windshield repair but much thicker in viscosity.
Procedure I used? Curing tape on both sides to seal and utilzed a syringe to fill.
Cracked plate glass repairs? Won't do them because of the liabilty concerns.
Of course everything I just wrote is JMHO!
