Pop a Bull\'s eye

[mrchip]

Hi tom.. welcome to the forum..now to your current problem..when you took off injector did it look the same???..if black is still under pit I would drill in pit and try again....if you partially filled and left a ring all around ..drill in ring and it should all fill..or if it filled on one side and left a cavity just drill and fill...yes unfortionately you will have a drill hole. but if it fills all of bullseye you will have been successful and I would charge customer..Good luck today:D

The term "pop a bullseye" refers to times when you need to drill. The idea is to drill only half to two thirds into the first layer of glass. You can then insert a tool (make sure it is smaller than the drill hole) and tap it to make a miniature bullseye at the bottom of the drill hole. Using this method saves on drill bits and makes the drill hole less noticeable. The technique can also be used to connect a separated leg of a star break to the rest of the star.

Bullseyes, themselves, rarely need to be drilled because when the projectile hits the glass, it cracks diagonally in all directions until it stops at the plastic interlayer. The "circle" of the bullseye is still attached to the plastic interlayer. So the impact point or "pit" is the tip of a cone shaped piece of glass. Your goal is to get the air (and moisture if present) out and then get resin down around the cone shaped piece of glass. Sometimes it is helpful to press down on the tip of the cone to let the air out easier and let the resin flow in easier.

If you are using good quality resin, trying to re-repair rarely works and usually requires drilling directly into air pockets and filling them individually. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

It rained all day and the guy didn't have place to get out of the rain. I got a reprieve and will have a bit more practice time.

When I first went into business I used the name
"Crack Doctor" but when women started blushing and giggling I changed it to "Windshield Mechanics."
