But success is found in how you overcome the obstacles. Keep right on LYFAO! The world ain't gonna stop for you man!

Please be assured the "world "has not stopped for anyone and yes most business is effected in todays economy as the past's.Those that choose to make excuse's for their short comings and failure are more consumed with blaming others than taking a long hard look at themselves.Those that continue to adapt,keep an open mind and change will succeed while others continue to flounder and blame the "world" for their own short comings........mean while I will continue to LMFAO at the whinners of the world and continue to cash the checks$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Well rather than blame others, why not do something about it? It's worked great for me! Adapt to move ahead! Ignore the negative whiners of the world and keep a straight course for success! Yep, those $$$ in the bank is what makes it all worthwhile! Don't let all the negativity around you bring you down. Just kick your feet up and LYFAO at it. That's what I do!

"With star breaks it is even more important to use pressure rather then vaccum, you get more force with pressure.If one of the legs dont start to fill in 15 seconds,I pop it and finish in minutes.I will drill the star first before any chemical is present, I drill 3/4 of the lenght or the dental burr diameter.If the star fills, im done, if one or more of the legs is not filling in 15 seconds, I use the inside wall of the drilled hole and place my carbide scribe on the inside wall of the drilled hole and tap to pop a slight rainbow."

Are you saying that for a star break , you drill first and then if the leg doesn't fill, you remove the injector and insert the probe into the drill hole and pop sideways at the blocked leg?

Thank you for taking the time to explain your technique.

My current methods are tried and true. My current equipment is tried and true. I don't need a miracle resin either. Things work well for me but I'm still willing to consider any valuable information that I find on this forum.

Since you lay it out there realistically and I do respect that cander, then you should be able to take it realistically as well. Your intentions may be good and that is questionable at best at times. Quite often your intentions create more negative then positive. You have a very poor way presenting your viewpoints valid or not. Tactful delievery is key here. Were'nt you banned for awhile? Play nice!!!!!!!!!

But when a person offers up their "expert" advice and it's unreasonable, I feel I have a right to speak up. 5 minute repairs, whether it was in 1980 or in 2008are NOT something that ANY well respected windshield repair company teaches people to do. For me, i's that simple. No matter how smart you are or how well renowned you are for something you invented, when you advocate doing 5 minute repairs, you have lost the respect from me that you otherwise might have deserved.

Yes but in any situation it is that individual choice to make. Do what you do, keep moving forward.

If I came on this forum and informed others that I had the ability to make UCM's follow me like puppy dog's while I whip out 5 minute repairs, I would get criticized as well.

You might, but it might also be in a tactful manner with dignity and respect.
You know, I think you have good info to share, ask common sense based questions, but do so perhaps with the wrong intentions.

Do not get offened,I think I could learn a few things from you, I laid it out there realistically just like you do but I still respect your right to think and feel what you want.

Dr Phil would be proud of you SGT! I accept your point of view and you are welcome to it! I think I present my point of view quite well. Perhaps you just have interpretation problems? Tactful delivery is key here? Aw shucks, I guess I'll have to work on that! Not everyone in this world deserves the respect of everyone else......not even me! lol
