Well, guess what.. that question does not dignify an answer. It deserves a real hard kick to the butt response.. And, I'm not one to try and sugar coat someones stupidity.. Do the research, educate yourself, get the training, ride with some one, contact the kit manufacturer, do several practice repairs, THEN come on here and ask what it is you may be doing wrong.. I'll be happy to oblige. But, don't expect to get the answer on how to make $100,000 when you don't know which o-ring is the seal..

So now you're calling me stupid? Not such a brilliant move on your part considering I own the joint, now is it. As I have stated many times, I learned from a video, and had I had a forum to consult, I would no doubt have asked a lot of questions.
That's exactly why we put this forum up, so if you don't like it, take a hike! I'm also getting sick and tired of being accused of always being politically correct, and deleting everything I don't like. If that were the case there would be a lot fewer people on this forum that's for sure. Maybe it's time I start living up to my reputation and do a bit of house cleaning around here.
What some call political correctness, others of us call compassion. If I was politically correct I would not want to offend the old timers who have helped to make this forum popular, but that fact is I would much rather offend those who are already successful in this business than those just starting out. I like making money as much as the next guy, but the reason I enjoy my job so much is because I feel like I am able to help people. I have watched many people start and run their own successful windshield repair business when others told them they didn't have it in them. All most people need to succeed is a little encouragement and guidance. Some of you have made it quite clear that you do not agree, and you are welcome to your opinion, but being unnecessarily rude to new members will not be tolerated here.
All of my comments are not directed solely at you glassdoc, but I do very much resent you calling me and the many like me stupid. I may not be the sharpest tack in the box, but I do manage to get my shoes tied and get to the work in the morning without your help, and I certainly don't need any belittling from you.
You can reach down and give someone a hand when they stumble, or you can kick them in the head when you walk by, but I believe the one who lends a hand will always end up on top.
