Well I'm not just saying this to argue but I believe that use of pit resin is the best way unless there is no pit or a very small pit. Pit resin serves an important purpose and most industry experts would agree that it is a necessary part of quality repairs. Bubbles in the pit do not occur if proper procedures are followed and pit resin and repair resin have a strong chemical bond together so I don't buy either of those reasons. I also don't agree that there is any connection to pits falling out because of use of pit resin. If the pit is falling out of your repairs I believe it is due to other reasons. JMHO!

GlassStarz,

I have seen repairs you speak of were the tech drilled only a pilot hole all the way to the laminate and the "plug" has come out. Now I think that may be from inferior resin used and it might also have to to with that method of drilling. You are also more prone to have air bubbles with this method drilling.

Now I rarely drill and if I must it is only deep enough to pop a bullseye which helps minimize the air bubble concern. It has not been my experience of what you describe to be the case with pits falling out. Not that has not happened to me, but I have not been advised if so. I have seen them get weathered though but that is just unavoidable. As for the air bubles that is just par for the course with the thicker viscosity pit fill resins. Although steps can be taken to easily overcome this problem.

I think it is well worth the extra exspense(and it is an extra exspense) of using pit fill resin to have a better quality repair IMHO. I use it on evry repair retail and fleet alike.

I always use pit resin and polish when finishing a job. The end result no matter how big the pit is always turns out better for me, and I know the job is complete when I walk away...
