Windshield Repair Forum

No regrets with using GM. If you do chose to get to Vegas, say Hi to Shelby for me.

I did my research and I also bought Glas Weld. Have I tried others? Nope! I do not see a need to. I have been using this system for 7 years now with no complaints. Customer service is #1. I have a crack bridge, edge bipod to get to the extreme edge and 5 of their injectors with bridges. I have 2 of the Pro Cure lamps and 3 of the regular curing lights. Is it the best? I think so. Is GMC and LEXUS the best? I also think so as it is what we drive. This has been discussed MANY MANY times over the last several years, there is NO best kit n my opinion. Only good and bad technicians. This is why we have GMC, Ford, Chevy and Dodge. No 1 brand is going to be the best for all of us.

Now to be fair to Delta-My dealings with them have been superior from Jeff. I have some of his resin (Magnibond) big bottle, and I have bought drill burs from them. They even send me candy. I keep trying to get him to send me one of his injectors to field test.

I agree with GlasWeldTech, there are many brands of tooling some good some not as good. They all have there own unique features but each is trying to achieve the same goal via the same principals vaccum and pressure. When selecting your tooling look past just the tooling and review there resins and perhaps more important customer service. Ultimately it is the person doing the repair that makes it happen so what ever you choose become proficient with that brand.

On a side note....

Eddie, I will gladly send you a delta setup to field test in return you send me Glasweld setuo to evaluate. Drop me an email and maybe we can set something up.

SGT,
Not all systems have the ability to pull a vacuum.

Screenman,

Lets just say, some pull more than others. That is another debatable topic though. I was merely referring to the principals by which most if not all systems claim to work by, vacumm and pressure. One thing is for sure they all must provide an enclosed environment or else you would never be able to make a repair, and usually this type of environment can produce even the slightest of vaccum to evaquate air. Actual draw and speed is a different story.

I specifically use the Delta System which some techs feel provides inadequate vaccum but I have had tremendous success Delta Kits. To each there own. I would say any of the major tooling out there does a great job if it is used properly. I know you have used many a system, which one do you go to for the majority of repairs you do and why?

I use a mixture of tools from many suppliers. Basically a NOvus style bridge and plastic injector modified by myself. A liquid resins style drill and a 9 watt UV lamp from Glass Technics this is very much like the Delta one.

I also own a Delta new style system and also a Liquid Resins system I am currently experimenting with these.

I have used many other systems and find quality repairs can be carried out with most. However I do feel that it is not the tools but the technician that really counts and of course his or her training.

I run a training school in the UK and are happy to train people with whatever tools they turn up with. However most of the kits on the market require certain additions.
