Windshield Repair Forum

Received my candy today, oops....I mean my Kit . Way to go Delta, extremely fast. =D> My 4yr old son zoomed in on the sweets like a bloodhound following a coon.

Anyhow thats the name my wife and I have decided to go with. It kind of makes a statement, plus I've always liked the core values the AF has instilled in me over the years. Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in all we do!!

Can't wait to view the video and get started.

Thanks for all the words of encouragement from all of you.

I know enter the unkown territory of the glass repair zone. Who knows what challenges are before me. With my trusty kit I am not afraid.

I like the name... has a nice sound and makes a statement. =D>

Thanks GlassDoctor.

Once you get the hang of it, you'll really start counting the days until you retire:)

MadMike : You're on fire man 8) 8) 8) Great name. Back in the early 80's I owned a bodyshop, the name of my business was somewhat long like yours "Pennington Autobody Limited" this actually worked to my advantage when some one wanted to write me a check instead of writing out such a long name... Most of the time they would just make it out to "Bob Pennington". I'd take the check to their bank, endorse it, and get CASH !!! If I were you I would work the Airforce gig to its fullest for a potential customer base. When guys are happy with your work and they think they got a good deal they will tell their friends. Remember..... there are 3 basic forms of communication..... Telephone-Telegraph-and Tell-an Airman

Thanks for all the encouragement all. Yesterday, I made my first attempts at repair Sad, Sad sad. Of course my 1st attempt was on a very old (several years) bullseye on my 91 landcruiser. It was very hard to tell if there was an actual hole. I used the probe and couldn't tell, so I went back inside to look over the video, I was ready to drill, when I decided to just go thru the motions first, I figgered even the tiniest of holes would allow the resin to flow.

Needless to say, it was minimal. So then I drilled and did it again. I guess I need to go thru the forum and learn some drilling techniques.

I then tried a small star on my corolla, it worked out much better.

Thanks again.

hog out the hole a bit

Interesting way to explain it...

Also, another tip...Between drill holes, with the drill on low speed, use your lighter and burn off excess glass/laminate...It will make your burs last longer
