New kid on the block

Post by Jerry Martin »

Hi all, I first bought a repair kit in 1995 and have made good money in it but like anything else it does require effort. I bought a Ultra Bond overpriced kit but it is very good equipment.
I need new donut seals for my injector but it looks like UB has gotten real picky who they will sell to if at all. Any other sources for these parts?
I was away from repairs for 6-7 years and decided to come back to it because it is easy work and you can make as much as you want to.
To enjoy chatting with people is a must.
I would like to exchange ideas for getting busines with others and in my 66 years I have learned a great deal.

Looks like Ultra Bond is a franchise operation. You may have to join to buy their products.

Why don't you buy a new system that works good . We all know how expensive they are and you know how much money can be made $

I love my old-fashioned hand-twist injector & bridge made by polylite. I have tried lots of bridges and even a big fancy vaccume-type system... I am new too, and maybe shouldn't be saying this yet... buy my pal's $1800 system is not worth it. I love my $95 bridge from polylite. I have a couple of novus bridges from the 80's, tried a delta bridge (not-self-leveling as I had hoped... have made a couple bridges myself... tried a competitors 2-suction-cup + bridge and of course the expensive vacume unit... of them all... the best is the blue aluminum bridge Bruce Quandy sold to me.

Speaking of franchise junk - when I first started, I tried to buy some plastic injectors from Novus, but found that I needed ot spend $140k becoming a franchisee first!

Welcome back, I look forward to learning from you!

I have found the Ultra Bond system works quite well but I have no love for the owner Richard Campbell. He made a lot of money hawking his kits and blew it trying to sue everyone that used his repair methods.
Last I heard he went into hiding somewhere in Colorado.
He got what he deserved and I won't buy anything from him. Sniff!!
