What type of resins do I need? I was working on a star break while I was waiting on the break to fill. I went on to the next break. It was a bulls eye. I thought to myself do I need a different type of resin for a different type of breaks???

The resins I am using is from the company I do not wish to say... but it states on the bottle STARBREAK.
It is not Delta...

Thanks
Clay

Clay,
I use Glass Technology' resins. I use low and medium viscosity for the majority of my repairs. Low viscosity for stars and the medium for bulls-eyes and combination breaks. For hot weather, a high viscosity can be used for those nasty combination breaks.
If one of your bottles has "star breaks" than I assume you have another bottle labeled "bullseye breaks" ?
I have read in newsletters and have been instructed by G.T. to use the thickest resin possible for the type of break you are repairing.
Cold weather can pose different problems. If you are stuck outside and you can see your breath (my rule of thumb) use as thin a resin as possible!
What works for me may not work for others.
