Default Re: Large Pit Question

Toab, thanks for the reference. I knew I had seen a recent thread on large pit repairs but couldn't find it earlier. Otherwise, I would have expanded your thread.

Brent, thanks for the response. However, my problem is not with air bubbles in the pit resin but air particles already in the pit area around minute pieces of broken glass (even after I clean the pit with my probe). The repair I did today had an oval shaped pit about 3/16" X 5/16" wide - just wide enough that the injector seal would not cover. I tried to place pit resin at the ends and keep the center exposed but the resin ran. After curing, the pit looked liked I had sprinkled pepper into the pit before applying pit resin. Anyway, I'm assuming that the black specks are air particles. Maybe I should place my curing tab over the resin and massage the tab a little. Maybe that motion will help lift some air. Another thought is to carefully drill out more of the loose glass particles before applying the pit resin. Who knows...
