Quick Tips

[GlassStarz]

How about a thread where we throw out some quick tips that make things easier?
My first one would be I carry one of those little green snap cases that LISTERMINTS come in filled with cure tabs in my pocket

What's the steelwool for?

Sunshine: Korey posted just a photo, it looks like a price draw eh?

The piece of 0000 steel wool can be used to clean the glass before starting a repair. The steel wool will remove any hydrophobic contaminates so you won't have to worry about the resin not sticking to the surface. Do this before cleaning the pit area with a probe so when you do clean the pit any steel wool fibers are removed at that time.

Korey: you won the price yourself!
The answer has been explained here on this very forum in various posts.
And yes, it is a very good idea to use this as a pre-repair-cleaning-aid. It works great.

If in doubt dry it out.

We learned at GlasWeld: if in doubt, pull the piston out.
(for a second or third vacuum cycle in order to be able to have the void completely filled with resin BEFORE you cure)
