Windshield Repair Forum

is that a question or a angry interrogative statement?

I cut TONS of lami in our shop and many, many times I have had the denatured alcohol eat thru the PVB before I had the chance to ignite it!!

what kind of alcohol are you exactly using? ethanol? isopropyl alcohol??
please elaborate
thanks

'alcohol' comes in many flavors. It is used often as a drying agent for other services (I am a carpet cleaner)

are we speaking 70/80 or 90% ?

Anyway , why not use an organo-functional silane based coupling agent after using the Drystar/moisture evaporator.. That helps in eliminating water/moisture too.
Good day

I believe the video we made using denatured alcohol speaks for itself and there is no need to use anything after using a moisture evaporator as the moisture has already been removed. I try to keep things simple so the average person reading this forum can understand it, and more importantly so I can understand it. Engineers we hire for developing and testing windshield repair products are useful for proving theories and helping us make sense of some of the things we experience in the field, but often the reports they provide don't mean a lot to simple folks like me, so I always ask for the dumbed down version. I would ask the same from you if you wish to share your expertise on this forum.

Thanks
