My first long crack (nightmare) story

[harrellbenjamin]

I find that the best way for me to take care of a long crack is to call my local W/S installer that I have a finder fee deal with , set up the two together .go to my next stop and collect $50.00 from the installer.Quick /easy and no headaches LOL

Not to hi-jack a thread but Brent-You sent me some samples of resins and drill burs years ago and since I have bought LOTS of it. Who knows what will happen if you was to send me an I-100 and bridge to try out Brian says he could get me up to speed shortly. I have 10 of my brand injectors......

I am trying my best to be nice here because I hate this story, funny though it is. Get training , get practise. There that is my rant over with.

When doing a crack of which I do plenty I will check out the way the crack runs etc. before commencing and my procedures will vary from crack to crack. That which Brent says is correct about staying behind the air etc. I will however sometime drill and pop up to 3 times before commencing dryout and filling, thei first at the end the second 1/2 inch in from that this one is my fill hole and the third just about 1/4 from the side of the shield if there is atrim which prevents you from filling and curing to the edge of the glass, this one is known as a cleat hole.

On some damage with a sharpe turn in them I will sometimes drill and pop right on this trun and fill from there, it is also not uncommon for me to have a bridge on this point and one on the second hole filling both at same time. Obviously with all long cracks eminating to the surface there is never a need to draw a vacuum, this will only pull air into your break. As for crack jacks I have not owned any for 10 years and did not use them before that date which is why I chucked them, however as long as it works for you that is fine. I must also add that I use Magnibond on all my long cracks without problems and that 100% of my long cracks repairs are carried out on trucks and buses with $2,000 plus screens.

Unfortunately we don't send out free bridges or injectors, but we do offer a money back guarantee, so if you are not 100% satisfied you can return it for a full refund. I think if you spent a little time with Brian or came to one of our training classes you would be sold, but if not you have little to lose.

By the way, whether you ever use Delta Kits equipment or not, we really appreciate your resupply business and your many contributions to the windshield repair forum!
