Who has the best pit resin ?

Who has the best pit resin? I know DeltaKits has one of the best but they're quite expensive. 7ml for $29

Anybody uses glassmechanix pit resin? or LiquidResins?

Magicogar,

Now that you're a senior member, you're probably doing enough repairs to justify buying pit resin by the Liter. $425 for a Liter, measures out to be about $2.97 per 7ml (or 1/4 ounce).

Also, another thing to keep in mind, with some pit resins (and I have no specific knowledge of the two you mentioned, so i'm not necessarily talking about them), you need to use more per repair, so while it may be cheaper, it doesn't last as long. Ours you only need 1, maybe 2 drops per repair.

most companies will send you sample packs . All you have to do is call them . they will usuallyl send it to you free of charge with a small shipping charge.l

I have 4 samples right now and so far, I find delta's to be the best because it has the thickest viscosity. This allows the resin to stay put and easily leaves a hump after applying the cure tab on top of the pit area. I have major problems with the thin pit resin. I always end up with not enough pit resin after curing (it runs down too fast). Very frustrating.

I wish I was doing a lot of repairs to buy the liter. $2.97/7ml is very tempting!!

Could you explain this step! Not sure what you are saying.

most pit resins are thick enough not to run although some companies do offer medium and thin viscosity pit resins ( presumably for cold climates). Jeff please explain why it takes less of your resin to fill a pit than other resin. If the pits are the same size I don't see how this can be possible.

It's magic resin!

Actually, I was referring to the thinner pit resins that most companies use. Those resins can be tricky to use, and you will need more resin to do the same work.

I personally work alot of vertical shields with truck fleet accounts. No matter what resin I've used...... I'll still find myself using some extra drops to fill bottom of injector to cover pit. If you don't, can't see how you'd possibly get a decent fill.

With resins..... I'm not overly concerned with how much I use, cause material cost per repair are still very cheap! Your main focus should be on the finished results! That's what will decide your future fate in repair. Choose a resin for quality and not for how much you can save per drop. We're talking about pennies here guys

Spending five cent's, ten cent's or maybe twenty cent's extra per successful $30-$75 repair? Who cares? I never have

I say......get samples from every supplier possible, use them and decide on your own which ones work for you.

Magic, that explains it. I thought for a second I was missing something like maybe the laws of physics ceased to exist inside a delta repair.

Magicogar, I personally use the Pit resin from Glass Mechanix. It is thick enough that you will not have any or little trouble with it running away. I only use 1 drop, apply the curing film, and cure for about a minute or so. Works good for me
