Very true Dave. I have heard the dryvac theory from more that one windshield repair distributors viewpoint BUT, where does the moisture go? Into the injectors third cavity! Can you say/spell contaminated resin?

For those who use vacuum to reduce the boiling point of water, you also need to use a second bridge to inject resin, for obvious reasons! JMO, thx Scott
