Repairs- I\'m new to the business

[SamPena1]

Hello everyone.
On my first repair, a combination break, I wasn't able to fill the longer legs. What did I do wrong? I followed the instructions. The repair was good, but I can still see some of the legs of the break.
Thanks Sam

Thanks Wilz, I recently got the EZK-100(week ago). I have not offered my services to the public yet until I can really make this repairs look good. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks Sam

Howdy Texan,
Get yourself a windshield from the junkyard and train, train and......... train untill you feel yourself confortable with the tools and procedure and than hit the road.
Succes, mucho suerte,

Reread the instructions about flexing. This is also done under pressure, at least it does under the Ultra Bond method.

Thanks Cazador !
Jerry, I tried flexing the damaged area, but it got worst...the leg ran more. I applied too much flex, I guess. So now I'm kinda scared to put any pressure on the star damage. I am trying to master the chips & star & bulleye first and then move to cracks (runs).
Thanks

Sam,

If you intend on mastering repair..... I'd suggest signing up for some professional training. The video tapes won't help you master anything!

Just some food for thought.... If you do not have the resources to aquire factory training or hands on training locally, then this may go against the grain here but stop reading the forum for now. There are so many techs willing to offer good and bad advice it will just confuse you more as you try to disect it. Not knowing what is good or bad advice you surely will lengthen the learning curve.

Watch the tape, try to pick out the basics and contact DK. You paid for there support when you bought your kit so make them work for there money. They want you to be successfull. You need to get the basics down before you try to apply more advanced techniques.

The learning curve is minor if you get off on the right foot.
