I think the main thing I will do is warm the shield first before heating the break to avoid such a temp change in the glass. Ive learned the hard way not to use dryout and heat at the same time
For those who have used LR dryout, do you just apply it and let it dryout on its own? I had thought you had to heat it to get it out. To anyone using the DELTA heater, Delta says to us it 20 sec. Do you put it right on the glass? If not how far away? Do you just do 20sec or do you several cycles of 20sec? What I now tricks me is I see the black disappearing from the break and I associate that with the water coming out, when in fact it can just be the glass expanding closing the break. I know its got me a few times into thinking OK just need to keep heating to get that last bit of black out. WORSE CASE if you dont get evey trace of moisture out what happens? Does it just appear black in the break? Does heating the break when filling eliminate any moisture that may be causing a problem? ETC. OR did you just elminate any chance of a perfect repair?
THANKS!!
