Default Anyone in the Fort Worth, TX area?

Hello everyone,

Just received my Delta Kits windshield repair kit Friday. Practiced on some friends vehicles this weekend. First one I'm pretty sure didn't work. Didn't really look like a bulls-eye or star. hard to explain, my friend is going to get a picture with his digital camera. The other two were on another friends windshield. I think it worked, one was a star, but I can still see the lines. However, I'm thinking I shouldn't see any lines at all.

Is anyone in the Fort Worth area that I could get with for a day and watch a pro at work? Training is coming up in April in San Antonio, but the way things look, I won't be able to afford it. A friend and I went in halves to get the Kit .

I want to add windshield repair to my existing business, but want to feel confident before offering it to my accounts.

Thanks

What i did was get a practice shield from my local glass shop. I told them I was doing a project for school and they gave me a 2x4 piece for free!! And practice...practice..practice. When filled correctly, you should only see a hairline on stars. On bullseyes, you should only barely see the pit area and maybe a ring around it.

Thanks,

Maybe I'm not totally crazy then. The lines were not as noticable as in the beginning. I know someone from a glass shop I could ask. I would still like to go out with someone so I could see the end results of a pro as opposed to my work strictly from practice. That way I'll know whether my end results are right or not.
