Repairs not smooth

Post by Basil »

Hi I am having trouble with my repairs. I noticed with many of my completed repair the chip is not smooth it looks like there is a piece of glue stuck where the impact point was. Can anyone please help me thanks!

I have come across people doing repairs where they do not know they have to scrape and polish.

I run across that a lot as well. I also find a lot of techs don't use pit resin so on larger pits they do not get a flat surface even if they do scrape and they have no idea that a quality pit filler is harder than injectable resins allowing it to polish up better and last longer. Even if a tech uses multiple layers of thin resin to achieve a flat surface, which in my experience most don't, the end result may not be satisfactory or offer maximum longevity.
