Where\'s the tape ??!!
David, thanks for making all of us better repairman. You are a good man.
I'm talking about the clear pit. Now, where can I get the tape?
Can I buy it somewhere besides a w/s repair co.? I've found I can buy almost all of my supplies cheaper at other places. Many of these guys think they can put the name "windshield repair" in front of any item and all of the sudden it increases in price by 200%.
Thanks,
BOYD

Hey Dave,
You are absolutly correct. Many Suran Wraps do have UV blockers thats why I don't recomnd them. Some don't but most do, they think because it looks like the UV curing tape they are the same and they are NOT. For this techinque to work you need to have the curing tape, the roll of it.

Ok ok. I feel badlly. Sorry about the Christmas bonus. I'd pay for the advice. To be honest I've never been to your sales site. I'll be there in about 10 minutes to purchase some tape. I've been to many sites that sale $2.50 "windhield bit" that can be bought from dental suupplies for 1.20 or better than that curing film for .25 for a 1"square. Or one of the best I've seen the w/s drill. The ole Dremel which sells in Walmart for $25
sales for 50 on repair shops. Anyway ... I'd gladly pay much more for the friendly advice you guys give. Thanks for your service. Gotta go and buy my tape.

Hey guys:
You can't get hurt buying tape, but I use something different just because it works better. I buy clear packaging tape (2" wide). Peel off about 3 inches, then fold it over so sticky side is against sticky side, take a pair of scissors and trim it to a circle about 1 1/2 inches across.
It works better than most commercial tape for me because it is just slightly more flexible, so it leaves the surface of the repair just an infinitesimal degree below the surface. Very little polishing necessary! On a big pit, you may have to make two applications, or the repair may be too far below the surface.
Peace & Plenty,
