Windshield Repair Forum

In response to the questions

Well as of today... we are have extending the contract through November for half price... foolish? What's the most important part to remember if your equipment will be the same temp as the air??? The resin? I read before that guys have put the resin in there pockets to sustain a certain temp. We also received the okay for a second location because we've done such a great job at the trial location. I feel like a kid again... it took 15 months of beans a rice and we will finally be doing alright.

Question to you... what's your preferred way of warming a windshield with or without keys?

I strongly recommend that you "do not" put resin in your pocket. If the bottle leaks you will have resin trapped against the skin and will surely regret it. Safety first!

Those little hand warmer packets work pretty well, but just keep the resin in my vehicle and if necessary warm it up when I warm the windshield. I like hair dryers for warming because they are fast, but not too fast, and it's pretty easy to rig something up to attach it to the glass so you can keep the glass warm throughout the repair process without holding it the entire time. If you mount your bridge, but leave the injector off the glass prior to warming, you can set your resin on the bridge close to the break so it will be warmed at the same rate as the glass.

Great, thank you.
