training new people- what not to do

[scratchy]

I am in the process of training somebody to help me out when needed and I am having to think really hard about anything I have been doing wrong on and off and how I am going to train them to do good work.

1st thing that caused me some problems- too much head pressure with another brand injector. This is an easy thing to mess up- trying to get it on the glass and start the repair. Lubing the injector to bracket threads lightly with vaseline give a more positive feel when twisting it down. Thankfully Delta's design is less prone to pressing too hard on the glass and if you do go to hard the seal starts to squash.

2nd problem that used to nag me was UV control. Too much at some times and not enough at others. An EZ up shelter and shop rags over the tooling or at the least a beach towel works wonders to cut down on the UV when not wanted. A big 24 inch 110 volt curing lamp with a power pack solves the lack of UV at in opportune times. Ever tried curing a 12" crack with a dinky 12V curing lamp? Not the stuff great results are made of.

All this to say...I am amazed that after fixing hundreds and hundreds of repairs, just letting the Delta injector patiently do its thing with an adequately drilled break AND excellent resin, the little tool really works all by itself. Don't let the customers in on this trade secret!!!
