120 And 62% Humidity The Mylar Pulls The Thick Off Leaving An Exposed Repair ?

Post by FREENCLEAR »

It's Funny 9 Years Of Glass And I'm Still Learning !

Any Ideas So Far Cigarete Celifaine Sometimes Works I've Tried All Kinds Of Mylar And For Some Reason It Dries To The Mylar And Not The Windshield ! Is It The Humidity ? I've Been In Extreme Heat But Dry In Arizona Now Its Hot And Humid !

Please Any Ideas ? Would Be Great !

Ive never had this problem but it seems that a drop of baby oil spread across the surface of the mylar strip would prevent it sticking to the mylar. since the resin surface touching the mylar gets scraped off, contamination shouldn't be an issue.

First idea that comes to mind is, do not do repairs on glass that is 120 degrees. WAY outside the recommended temperature. Cool the glass, cool the resin, keep it cool.

I'm in Az and never have this problem. If the glass is too hot to touch, you have to cool it down. Running the A/C through the defrost vents for 5 or 10 minutes usually works. If the car can be moved to the shade, that's even better, but if not, cover the area on the outside with a towel while cooling from the inside.

LMAO that's exactly what I thought when I saw the thread title :D

Good rule of thumb: if you can't rest you arm on the glass, don't be doing a repair.
