Re: Plate Glass Repair
Plate glass resin is similar to windshield repair resin, but a much higher viscosity even than pit resin, and Delta Kits plate glass resin is formulated to be harder than our windshield repair resin as flexibility is not as important.
I typically got about 5 repairs per bottle, and charged $50 and up for each repair with no discount for multiples, but that was a number of years ago so I had hoped the going rate had gone up. The more expensive the window the more the service is worth to the customer, so I was generally working on windows that would cost hundreds of dollars to replace.
I did a few plate glass repairs that had cracks, but I would recommend sticking with the nice clean ones, mainly because I don't have enough experience or verifiable data from other plate glass repair techs to be able to say with any authority how well a cracked plate glass repair holds up long term.
The reason I started this thread was to see how others handled plate glass repairs. Someone out there must have some expertise they can share with us.
