Multiple Impact Points

Post by timsch » August 3rd, 2023, 2:53 pm

My windshield sustained a rock collision, and it appears that the rock hit in two places at the same time, maybe a 1/4 inch apart. i have a deltakit, but I dont know if i can seal both impact points and their stars with just one application.
What should i do? Should i do two applications, one on each point, or should one fill it up with resin completely?

Sorry, I don't get what you're saying? I'm a noob.

My main problem is that I don't see how to set up the injector with the points of impact so close together. Can I get both filled at the same time somehow?

A very common chip I get at least one day that looks like that. Personally, I would just fill from bottom impact point.

I'm sorry about a late response, just like sunshine said, I would cap by putting pit resin over the impact holes and curing, then drill a new hole in center or in one of the holes that you capped and begin repair. should be nothing but a thing. :D

To add to comments, from my experience if you just started from the bottom, the resin would begin to run out the top hole not allowing for pressure which is needed to fill repair completely.

Here is a picture of the completed repair. I first capped it with a drop of resin, then drilled the two impact points and repaired them the standard way, starting with the bottom. Any comments or critiques would be appreciated
