Need resin

[Willem]

My name is Willem ,
I have a Windscreen Repair Buisines called Protech Windscreen Repairs.
I would like to no if someone can supply me with resin at a reasonable price?
What would be the best resin to use for normal windscreen repairs?The resin that my tech is using currently has a bad reaction on his skin of his fingers,What can he us to prevent or better this situation? How do you feel about the Loctite Bullseye system? Seems to be verry cheap -what is the results like?

Welcome to the forum Willem!

We can certainly supply you with sample resins, as can most major manufacturers.

Your tech that has skin reactions to resin needs to use Nitrile Gloves (not latex), and that will help.

The Loctite Bullseye system is not a professional system. It is uses by owners to repair their own windshields. I have not heard anything good about it.

Thanks for your rapid reply,
I live in Kimberley"the Diamond City" - South Africa
What would the price be on resin postage included.
We as a relative new bussiness do not have access to a lot of suppliers,and the suppliers import resin and resell it at ridiculous high prices.
I would like to know if i can also distribute your products in South Africa?

Another alternative to the nitrile gloves would be a resin that contains no or little acid such as Delta's magnibond. I have had the same reaction in the past and have switched to such resins with no adverse effect on the quality of my repairs.

I always use Nitrile no powder gloves, I don't have a reaction to them. Patterson is a great contact. Dawn

Welcome to The Forum Willem!! I have switched to low acid also for the same reason. I'm a little sceptical as to the adheision properties as the acid is there primarily to etch the surfaces that will be bonded. We have no complaints as yet but time will tell on that one. I'm sure Jeff can tell you about the bonding issues etc.. I use a hand treatment to help prevent penitration from resin and so far it is doing the job for me. I believe I was affected as a result of handling tainted denatured alcohol,(alot of resin in it) and as the resin was present in the solution it was better able to get under my skin so to speak. I have heard of folks gradually getting more sensitive to resin after prolonged exposure too so avoidance is a good idea for us all. Scott

Thank for all your input and advise on the resin/skin isue.
Another question - Is it necessary to use pit filler, or will normal resin be enough?
What are your advise?
Currently we have winter in South Africa, does it have anny efect on resin/repairs?
Looking forward to all your replies.

You should always use pit filler to finish your repair. It is thicker and stronger so it is able to hold up to the elements....ie: rain, sun, snow, hot, cold.....
It just does a better job of holding up than exposed resin could.

If you are in the winter season, and it is too cold to do a normal repair...I advise using heat VERY cautiously...Don't get in a hurry to heat the glass...also do NOT use the defroster to warm the glass...instead, use the floor vents...it will warm the glass more gradually thus giving better results. i.e. not having a crack run across due to drastic temp. change. I also echo what they said about using a pit resin...it will make the repair last longer and stay looking better
