Any questions, call for tech support before or during.

Won't be difficult, you shouldn't worry! Congratulations on your first "real" repairs!

Go for it!
I am sure you have done lots of practise and have been trained properly so just enjoy the adventure.

I am using Delta Kits, I will definitely call BEFORE, DURING, and don't be surprised if I call AFTER :biggrin:

Clearview, worry less about cracking out the windshield and pay more attention to detecting moisture in the break. We're supposed to have rain tonight as well as the fire engines are washed down multiple times a day.

Don't forget to bring a ladder.

Clarity Glass that is is very good point. I would suggest they dry out dry out and dry out more before you start filling. Any moisture left in no matter how slight will completely ruin any chances of a succesful repair. Moisture is the biggest enemy of windshield repair. It is also the one point people fail to recognise the most. A lot of times when a repair will not fill is due mostly to moisture left in.

Well here is the dumb question... How can I be sure that ALL moisture is out?

Flex the glass around the break and watch for movement inside. Practice drying a chip with either a drystar if you have one, or a torch and you'll get the hang of it.

FYI too much heat = damage to the lami (whiting) and or crackout... Just go slow untill you get the hang of it!!
