Thank you all for the welcome.
Wilz asked, "Welcome, Ironmoon. Don't mind me asking, what windshield repair kit do you use?" I bought 8 kits from a company called Fix-N-Chips out of Metro Detroit and own 2 of their 42 franchises. They own the patent and manufacture their own technology. It is a pump system.

That sure is an expensive way to get into glass repair I hope they keep the promise they made. Am I right in saying the pump uses compressed air to push the resin into the chip or crack. Quite ofet this will lessen the quality of the repair due to air being absorbed under pressure into the resin before it cures. These systems quite often suffer more with shrinkage than normal hydraulic one's. I am not saying this will happen to your repairs and hope it does not.

Best of luck with your business.

It is a dual pump. First vacuuming (at 28 inches Mercury) all the air out - then using psi (anywhere from 20 to 60 lbs - depending on break) to push resin in.
