I guess I missed the part about you using a meter. Still a mystery why your results would be so different than those of the glass manufacturers, and my own results.

As for the five minute windshield repairs, I'm glad you expounded on your original post as it was not evident to many of us that you were talking about averaging the time spend on multiple repairs and the fact that you were using multiple bridges, as 10 repairs per hour would be an average of 6 minutes per repair including writing invoices, which even under the very best of circumstances is quite a feat.

I'm not worried about the veteran windshield repair technicians on this forum, they will choose to believe whatever they want, and their own experiences will either validate or invalidate what they read here. My problem is this. There are many people that read this forum who are interested in the windshield repair business, but have not yet done their first repair. When they read a post about doing 10 repairs per hour and curing with sunlight, they are reading things that are directly opposed to the new ROLAGS standard, the recommended practices of all of the reputable windshield repair manufacturers, the NWRA and the NGA. In addition, you are undermining all of my attempts to provide a forum that not only provides helpful information to new technicians, but also helps to set realistic expectations.

You can argue that 5 minute repairs are possible, and I cannot refute that fact. It is possible, and some people will do it, but just the vehicle inspection process that is required to be in compliance with ROLAGS takes several minutes, as does the invoicing, and then there is drying out the break, and you also mentioned drilling, so is a 5 minute windshield repair a realistic expectation?

In any case, this thread has gotten way off the subject. Let's get back to the subject, the Dry Star moisture evaporation tool, and move on please.
