My first use of the B300

[Guelster]

I recently traded in another companies bridge & injector and purchased the Delta B300 with the I 100 injector. I was so extremely HAPPY with it I had to start a thread and show my appreciation
Thank You so much DELTA...This is the product I have been searching for
I am fairly new to the WS repair industry (approx 4 mos). I had gotten used to my equipment but it was a lot of work to fill the cracks and get all the air out. I was never really satisfied with the repair, maybe it was my technique maybe it was the old equipment.
I received the B300 last week. Today I went & got a replaced cracked windshield from a friend in the body repair business and went to work with the B300. By my 3rd combo break I had felt 100% comfortable and was 100% satisfied with the repair. Since I was just practicing I did repairs with a WS temp at about 40 -55 degrees. I used the Premium Bond and was thrilled with the performance. In a real repair I would never do fixes at that temp, I just wanted to see if I could if I had to. Surprsingly enough the resin flowed extremely well in colder temps.
Again, THANK YOU Delta. I look forward to doing better repairs now.

I do repairs with glass temps. in that range all the time with no problems.

That is good news for me splitpit...now you assured me it wasnt dumb luck for myself. But since I am still a newbie at ws repairs I still go by what was drilled into my head about temperatures. I learn new tricks everyday.....Thanks :-)

Take this for what it is worth. Sure you can do repairs at cooler temps but you chances of failure are greater. I perfer to get the windshield between 70-90 deg when possible. I also find the resin flows even better when it is warm. Good luck and keep practicing.

I had a couple start to run on me this winter about 15 seconds into using the moisture evaporator, but I think that was because I had the defroster on just before that for awhile and the temperature outside was probably at freezing or just slightly above. I even slowly circled outside the impact area some before leaving it on the impact point. I think the moral is the colder the temps the harder it is to control. I also had a larger chip repair fall out this winter, inferior resin or colder weather or a combination of both. I used to live in a real hot climate and probably had as many problems in the heat (daisying was a typical one). So there you go. You just have to get used to the obstacles you're working with
