I'm getting ready to practice a few different moisture removal techniques and would like to know what other guys are doing. I've done a search and read alot but I would like to know a few more things. The guys that use a mini torch, do you heat from the inside or out. I know someone suggested the inside. Is that right? Some guys use heat guns or hairdryers. Can I find anything like these that plug into a car lighter or do you run ext. cord. Is the moisture evaporators for windshield repair as good or better than the above. On a tight star should I pop a bullseye first and then dry? Alot of questions from a new guy but I like my repairs to come out great.
Thanks

Try the moisture evap. from Delta Kits. It works great. Try heating from the outside.

I use my LR injector when moisture is present the steady controlable amount of vac sucks it out without having to use the below method
Sometimes a drop of dry out when needed (seldom) to lower the vaporization level and a match on the inside will drive it out with the vac I find since i switched to my current injector I dont need this method often.

Steve, I have been pretty successful using a combination of what CPR and GlassStarz does. If moisture is suspeced I too will use a drop of dry out and apply my GM Power-Vac Injector and go through the vacuum cycle while applying a small amount of heat with my mini torch lighter on the inside of the glass directly to the damaged area for about three seconds. This seems to drive the vaporization out everytime.
