TIPS FOR YOUR TOOLS:

If you store your repair equipment in the trunk of your car, you may be sabotaging your business. Repair resin is easily affected by hot and cold temperature extremes. Extreme heat will begin the cure reaction of your
UV resin and change how they will perform in a repair. Never leave your tools in the trunk. When you are done for the day, take your tools inside with you. If it is very cold or very warm, keep your kit in the front of the
car. It is also a good idea to keep your resins in the shade (under the bumper) when working on hot sunny days.

Cleaning Your Tools:
Another factor that can affect your repairs is dirty and contaminated tools. Your tools should be cleaned before leaving the job location. The best solvent we have found for the job is 90% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). A quick wash is all you need. Isopropyl alcohol can also be used for the more thorough weekly cleaning. Place your repair injector parts in a leak proof jar with a very small amount of alcohol. Close up the jar and allow it to sit overnight at room temperature. By the next morning, the vapors from the alcohol will have scrubbed

your injector parts clean. Never soak rubber injector seals in any cleaning solution overnight. These seals should be cleaned, dried and stored immediately to insure their longevity.

Hope this helps
