Windshield Repair Forum

After reading DOC's post and the replies concerning bullseyes, a question comes to mind which might be considered a survey question. That's up to Jeff.
I'd like to know from any tech's who want to answer.....after doing a repair on a simple bulls-eye, what does it look like from the inside? You can only see the polished impact point or you see the polished impact point and a clear, thin ring around the perimeter of the bulls-eye.
I've been repairing for over 11 years and have used every method I've read or been taught and 99% of my bulls-eye repairs will have a very thin, clear ring.
I don't believe it's from using too much pressure (40-50 psi)

The clear ring is completely normal, and does not necessarily have anything to do with too much pressure.

Anyone who votes 1 or 2 also has a bridge to sell you, and walked to school up hill in the snow both ways when they were a kid.

I also almost always get a clear ring. I had been told in the past it was from applying too much pressure. Sorry if I passed along bad info.

Not bad info... too much "ring" is from too much pressure, etc.

But every bullseye has a perimeter... and there's always some line of demarcation. sp?

There are those awesome bullseyes that have virtually no line at all... but that's not typical.

Maybe I'm just very critical... what I say has a clear line, others might say is "invisible".

I dont know what my completed bullseyes look like... I cant see them LOL ...

Goldy, you gotta remove that white rag you have behind the glass!

While clarity is a highly desired feature of the quality of repair, let us not lose our focus on preventing the damage from spreading. Just my thoughts.

If you have a clear repair... it IS a proper repair. What else could you ask for? If a perfect, clear repair is not good enough I don't know what else to do.

the less you can see of a repair the more properly it is bonded. Therefore they are both the same.
