Just go to a glass shop and take one out of the dumpster dont ask dont tell. if the sucker aint locked its fair game and what do they care? myself I spent alot of time at the wrecking yard you will see every kind of break you can imagine and most wrecking yard guys dont care just ask you will be suprised.

dgarza, one way I setup an old w/s was just take a couple 8' 2x4s and screw them together on one end and lean it against a wall like a big A-frame easel. Then screw a couple scraps of 2x4 onto the "legs" to hold the w/s at whatever height you want. Or you could get fancier and use a third leg for a free-standing w/s easel...

can you explain?

Dgarza,

What you want to do, when practicing, is emulate "realistic" conditions. Angle of glass, amount of sunlight, temperature and even the height of the glass (i.e. difficult to reach repairs on large vehicles) can all affect how you approach the repair as well as the outcome of the repair. So, practice under all situations, even practice doing multiple repairs at once if you have multiple bridges, it ain't but a few bits for the resin, but the experience you will gain is priceless:)

Practice Glass, I was trained on one,,It worked great! O:) All I had to do was make a stand to support the glass. I got my glass @ the ppg supplier who gave it to me, it was a defective or damage glass that they couldnt sell for replacement.
