When curing with ultraviolet light...

Post by lakosbo »

Once the repair has been completed. I run my finger across the repair and I can still feel a small pit (usually my drill hole). Should the pit resin fill this area or is this normal? Any suggestions?

thanks

The pit resin should fill this area. When you place your cure tab (or cure tape) over the pit resin don't press it down just lay it over the pit resin. This is the most common reason for concave pits.

Thanks alot Mafsu. You've really been helpful. I am especially appreciative of your suggestion on the other subject about getting a better curing light.

For those of you that use a curing lamp, do not put this back in the box until you have scraped and polished the pit this way if it is a little on the low side you will be less tempted to leave it that way.
