Windshield Repair Forum

Hi, I am a new tech and have found the info you guys give out to be very helpful. I was hoping I could get a little advice about air bubbles. I check every time before I put on the UV lamp and there are none visible.....but after curing, about half the time there is an air bubble or two that seem to POP up right in the middle of the pit. Is there anything that I can do because this really bothers me and I want to do right by my customers. Thanks

When you see black, shiny, or green inside a break that means air is present. It is critical that you look at the damage from all angles before determining whether or not the damage has been filled completely. Often, a repair will look completely filled from one angle, only to discover that from another angle, air is still present. It sounds like you trapped a bubble in the pit resin as the curing tab was applied. To discuss how to keep this from happening in the future and other possibilities, including not enough pressure and vacuum cycles, too much injector pressure against the glass, etc., I invite you to give us a call. Also, when you are applying your curing tab be sure you place your pit resin below the break and allow the curing tab to push the resin up over the impact point to minimize the chance of air bubbles near the surface. Here is a short video illustrating how to apply the pit resin and curing tab.
