First Major Practice Pictures

Post by m8829 »

Hi All

Was hoping to get some feedback on my first major star practice.

Used a center punch to create a star extending about 1 inch from the pit.

1. The picture shows a red box where I can still see the crack but I dont see the one in the yellow box or the other cracks Imageafter.. What happened?

2. The other cracks seem to be 'blurred out'. is that the correct result?

3. I used T-CUT glass polish Image(see picture) after curing the pit resin and the pit looked white. It looked clear before the polish. Am i usong the wrong pit polish?

Thanks

Matt

I have notice that if you get the pit polish hot before it is completly cured it turns cloudy that may be your problem the polishing process creates heat through friction.

Repair looks OK but why use a glass polish to finish the pit? When what you need is a plastic polish?

Wow TCut have really excelled themselves with this one. I think this must be aimed at the retail market. I cannot wait to see people polishing like made trying to remove wiper scratches. How long before someone tells you they have a friend who did a fantastic job on a damaged screen with this snake oil.

m8829, would you please downscale future pictures you post to more friendly resolutions? paint.NET is a simple, easy-to-use program that you can use to scale the pictures before you upload them.

I'm not sure about you, but I'm on 1024 x 768 resolution, and I had to really navigate around just to get the whole picture--- if you know what I mean. ;)

Also, you might shine a bit more light on your glass before taking the picture--- that might reduce the 'fuzzy' quality a bit.
