WINDSHIELD REPAIR RESINS

The windshield repair resin is the most important part of the entire windshield repair system and your windshield repair business. The resin is the only windshield repair product you leave the customer with. If the resin deteriorates it can destroy your reputation and you will be giving refunds.

Nothing on a vehicle is more exposed to the environment than a windshield. You should use the best windshield repair resin on the market. The difference in price is only a few cents per repair.

How do you find the best windshield repair resin on the market?  Ask for three details: (1) Viscosity, (2) Lab Tests AFTER EXPOSURE and (3) Field Test Photographs.

If the seller of glass repair kits or a windshield repair busness opportunity does not provide these details then do not buy the resin. You should also know the Fundamentals of Adhesives.

Viscosity is the thickness of the resin. You must use the proper thickness for a windshield chip repair to not cause flowering (pushing the laminate). The ingredients that determine strength and durability increases the thickness of the resin. Long Cracks require thicker resins called structural adhesives and all of these resins are patented (150 cps - 4000 cps +) and owned by Ultra Bond and Richard Campfield.

If a windshield repair business opportunity, company or franchise is not disclosing the viscosity of a windshield crack repair resin it is because they do not want you to know it is too low to bond a crack for an extended length of time or the resin infringes Richard Campfield's patents. If you use this resin you become a patent infringer and this company has put you in a position a liabilty.

Do not take this risk, it is not worth the few cents more it costs per repair to do it right and be an ethical business person.

Windshield Chip Repair Resins - Our windshield repair resins for chips or stone breaks come in three viscosities to meet the type of repair and temperure of the glass so you can give your customer a perfect repair. A windshield repair resin's bond to the lamination, clarity and durability will be determined by using the proper resin for the type of break and temperture of the lamination also called PVB. We also have the only waterproof windshield repair resin so you will not be out of work because of rain or snow. Our 45 and 90 resins are also used for stone breaks.

New Re-Repair Resin. There is a huge market for the re-repair of Safelite repairs as many of their repairs are not completely filled, many are just pit-filled as their technicians are not allowed to drill, their tool prevents flexing and their resin deteriorates rapidly. We have seen and re-repaired as many as six in one day. Our re-repair resin bonds to glass and their resin. It will also bond to any other acrylic, urethane, hybrid or epoxy resin which is most of the resins on the market. For the radiating crack and partial bullseye just drill through their resin in the impact point which will only be in the pit since they do not drill. For stars where they have clogged up the bullseye and left the legs half-filled you drill and tap a bullseye at the tip of each leg and completely cure with your injector in the pressure mode. For bullseyes or combination breaks where there are voids in the bullseye, drill the edge of the largest void to the pvb as they have no bond to the pvb. Their resin pulls off the pvb when they cure thus leaving a void between the resin and the pvb. After drilling to the pvb then fill using vacuum and pressure and as always cure with your injector in the pressure mode. $25.00
