Happy to have you on here Barry, I have 2 Drystars and many torches, when it comes to dry out the tool u designed is the current best. I like the fact that I can watch the steam rise when the chip is done. The little puff of steam is my cue that its time to go to work on a repair. Oh and I think you owe me a shield cause I did crack one out like 4 years ago due to overheating so.... Heh, I heat with a torch from the inside on stubborn breaks to flex and fill. ( Heat closes a stubborn leg when it opens it has to draw in something, hopefully resin) I appreciate all contributors to this field, so thank you Barry. Just to let you know I began in automotive in 1973 as a lot man. I then witnessed Vinyl repair, windshield repair, white walls, stripers, the list goes on (still). I was struck by a guy who had palsey when he was young but insisted on making his way in the world even though he was severely disabled, he did a wonderful job on a crack on a new ford PU and I was so impressed I decided that if I ever got to the place that I had a chance I would go for it, well it took a while but I joined the WSR field in 2002 and am happy I did. Thanks to all who have contributed. (that means you Brent) Thanks again, Scott
