I do not heat stars to get air out,only to get the water out.I want the legs open, when I heat the star the heat expands the glass and closes the legs off.If I heat all the glass with the defroster then thats ok because its all equal but takes added time.With star breaks it is even more important to use pressure rather then vaccum, you get more force with pressure.If one of the legs dont start to fill in 15 seconds,I pop it and finish in minutes.I will drill the star first before any chemical is present, I drill 3/4 of the lenght or the dental burr diameter.If the star fills, im done, if one or more of the legs is not filling in 15 seconds, I use the inside wall of the drilled hole and place my carbide scribe on the inside wall of the drilled hole and tap to pop a slight rainbow.
For stubborn legs, I push on the leg while pressure filling to open up the crack and watch the chemical flow in in seconds!
I have 10 bridges/injectors that I used.
When I had muliple repairs going, I would use as many bridges/injectors as needed at the same time. I did so many of these things so fast that I learned when I was done, I would need to write the bill, drive to the next dealer, walk the lot, fix there glass, write the bill, go to the 3rd dealer, repeat, go back to the 1st dealer and get signature and p.o.
I did this thru sept.2001
They started to freak out, I was making more money then they where.
Also, I didnt let them know what kind of car I had in the garage and did not let them know what kind of house that garage was attatched to and definatly not tip my hat on the acerage the house sat on and hope they dont check public records and find out about all the rentals also!I lost some accounts due to jealousy, but got them back when they changed jobs.
I drove a beater honda civic to my accounts in the winter and used the car or goldwing in the summer.
I would go to the super market and buy 100 party trays of the finest cold cuts and cheese with bread, Cases of liters of coke/pepsi hand them out to the sales and service department on rainy saturdays and christmas.
I got more retail insurance work along with the used car department then I could imagine.
