Hello everyone. I'm new, and with the help and suggestions from Brent, I'm now able to post. Thanks Brent. 30 years of law enforcement (not retired yet), but its time I learned a skill, any skill. Windshield repair has caught my eye, and I purchased a GT Spectrum system. Been repairing the heck out of a practice windshield, and I guess the next step is to go to Durango Colorado and do the one or two day training at GT. Can anyone tell me thats been to the training, if one day is enough, and is one day at GT training pretty thorough? I would also like to ask anyone, if there is a "great" training DVD that I can buy, that is generic to any system? And, is there a "long crack" training DVD that's worth buying? That's enough questions for now. I have a ton of them. Thanks. Rowdy13 And thanks again Brent. You were right, the Internet Explorer is what worked for me.

I have not been at their training, but from what they tell me it is worth it. You have a great injector and will not take much to learn just like most all on the market...
I been using GT for 17 years along with one or two others on this site.. When you are able to private message, If you need to ask anything drop me a line or on the forum its self.

GT does have their forum but it is not that busy, so if you need anyone over there to help you may get some help also...

Brent,
I hope I did not over step the rules on this site .

You are lucky to have found this wealth of information and welcome to our forum. Can I suggest that if you live in an area that might get even slightly damp at any time that you practise dry out techniqes. Make some if not all of th damages you make in your practise screen wet before commencing repair, this will make it slightly more real life. Moisture is our biggest enemy in this trade, also get used to working under a cover if you intend to do any repairs outside. Best of luck with your new carreer.

The drystar from Delta kits is as good as you can get, it also comes with instructions. Have fun.

I live in the Oklahoma City area. We have all extremes of weather. Will the Drystar help out with Tornadoes? just kidding. I will purchase the drystar from Delta. Even though I dont have their system, I have ordered a few other items from them, and Brent has been great at helping me out, so that means a lot to me. thank you for the help, and that now leaves only 998,000questions to ask.
