Default Re: Stubborn Legs

I live in a tropical country Srilanka, Pioneer Windshield repairer from 1992 with "NOVUS" USA method. have done more than 15000 repairs have come across lots of Star cracks with legs do not fill Resin. What I do is to drill end of the star leg with a very small drill bit and inject from that hole the Resin this is done only if the customer is willing to have another hole on his windshield. if not I do all methods mentioned on previous posts.
The best to do a as far as I practice is give less injector pressure on the glass
and get maximum piston pressure to not to over flow resin on the glass,
heat up very little on the top of repair immediately get into the vehicle lift the glass cracked point from the back of the windshield without extending the cracked leg give a gentle tap on the glass for the resin to flow this is repeated number of times until the leg get filled with Resin
If any one in the forum can comment of my experience please give your comments.
Sylvester.
