Glassdoc,

Once again, while I agree with you, I also disagree with you.

For the most part, a good majority of people posting on the forums are just researching to get started or have just started and these techs.. sure they have time to figure it out on their own but do they want the hassle or can they afford to. Most want to get started feeling that they have purchased what will do the best repairs for them wether it's brand A or brand B. Every brand has unsatisfied customers and satisfied customers.

Let's use this 2 week example you bring up in your previous post. If you are referring to a piece of practice glass where you will have the most control over the tests, then ease of use would be determined immediately, strength would never be determined because we could never reproduce the flexing and stress's exerted on a windshield from a vehicle in motion. As for yellowing of the resin well it will take longer than two weeks to see this type of deterioration from a top supplier at least in my part of the country.

Now lets look at this example on a customers vehicle. We will never get an accurate standard from resin to resin due to not being able to reproduce the exact conditions since each break is unique and the variables will aslo be different from break to break. So it would never be fair. But lets go with it, Ease of resin use can be determined immediately, strength can be determined only in an undetermined amount of time since we can only speculate on something like that. But lets use one month as our standard...

Are you willing to have your customer driving around while you are testing the resin of brand A or B when we all no the potential for their safety could be at risk?

Do you let them know that you are not sure of the resin you are using and you are testing it?

Based on your post that the suppliers would never stand behind your work which I agree then why would you stand behind their resins through your testing phase and risk your business reputation?

and last in our second example, yellowing or optical deterioration of the resin, well it will take longer than two weeks to see this type of deterioration from a top supplier at least in my part of the country.

You mention if your not happy then will your customer wont be and I agree with you

Pay it foward,

Brian
