Windshield Repair Forum

So I have been practicing with the bullseye maker Delta sells.

Sometimes there will be a visible circle left after my repair. It's more like a suction impression. Should this be gone after the repair or is it normal?

Secondlly, sometimes the practice damage will result in a bullseye and a little teardrop above the circle of the bullseye. After the repair, the bullseye is mostly gone (90+%) but a small part of the tear drop shows. Is this normal or should the resin flow to that also? The "teardrop" does not have any surface damage so without drilling I cannot get directly injest resin into it.

Thanks,

Tyler

I have seen the teardrop you described and if you drill and pop to connect the two you can repair them all at once. Rarely you will see the type of damage you described in the field. It resembles the daisy effect found on repairs that were over pressurised during injection or in real hot climates except the bubble is air. It is petal shaped right. I got one like that on my truck when I was real new and drilled the thing like 4 times to connect it all up I now can do the repairs a great deal better than back then. I used the one on my shield for practice when my brother went to train in Eugene. We really made some headway when we arrived home to continue the practice sessions and cut loose with some theory I picked up on the forum (here) the damage was huge like a full sized daisy flower with like 6 or 8 petals of air on it, it was really ugly and the rerepair looked great in compairison. While not real common you will see this kind of repair in the field and so it is good that you can simulate the damage during practice, if you get to many just ease up on the bb breaker and that will do it. They are the result of a real hard hit or a big rock or whatever. Anyway good luck,

Thanks Scott for the tips. I have now practiced this a few times and have seen great improvement.
