Berg,
Just a quick note to say that I have went through both Glass Mechanix and Delta's training and they both were great. The instructors and staff at both places are a wealth of information and want you to succeed.

I got kicked off the GM forum a long time ago for questioning a "funny" technique ... forget what it was exaclty , but I do recall that it was totally bogus. Good stuff....

I like the look of the new GM injector... came out maybe 2-3 years ago?

Hi Glassdoctor!

Absolutely not, we do NOT advocate drilling bullseyes or using spot heat to fill legs.

We do advocate, just as I did at DKI, heating the windshield to optimum temperature, but not excessive (which is what I think you meant). Excessive heat will make the leg swell shut, making it look like it's disappeared, but not allow resin to flow in. When it cools back down, the leg reappears. Not to mention increases the chance of it cracking out.
