Hi, I use this kind of bullseye maker(see attach pic. pls) to try to make a bullseye.
However, occasionlly it can make a bullseye but such kind of break mostly as below:
you can see there's a lot of long thin legs showed in this break, some legs end and start again, which is very difficult to get the resin fill completely. For example, I usually can only get the resin arrive Point A and can't go anymore(which means length B can not be filled) no matter how many pressure and vacuum cycles I proceed.
The length of those cracks should not pose a problem at all but if some of them are on the inner layer of glass you may not be able to fill them. However, if they fill partially there is no reason you should not be able to get air to the ends of the cracks. I'll send you a private message with some additional information that I think will help you.

Brent,
I as well have had this happen to me. Please PM too.

How can I get such long thin legs filled?
By the way,I use a screw type injector
I've ran into these before and might have to agree with what Brent stated. If it's a inner glass crack along with the outer it would become difficult to provide a completed repair. I'll always try to fill but after after 40 minutes I will pass. It's uncommon to see these but you'll have to figure out which ones are profitable in the future and those that are not.
Just my 2 cents but if this was in drivers view I would probably pass.Yes it can be filled very easy with a little patience.I just think that there would be to much skeleton for the driver to be constantly looking at.This also is against the law to repair in a DOT vehicle if it is in the acute driving area.I personally do not want that liability.

o these dm
Bill, with all due respect...no this damage can't be filled easily. I've seen a number of this type of damage and judging by the photos it's not one that would fill easily. The way the crack lines looked...it was definitely not a normal repair. If it's an interior break....you couldn't fix it without drilling past lami, which I would never do.
Hey but it's only my opinion. I would have passed on it from the get go after seeing it! To much time spent and little dollars to show for it. Next!
Based on the measurements...this break is over 1.5 inches in diameter and the legs look pretty tight. The leg that appears to end, then continue again (located in the 1 O' Clock position)... may actually be still connected. There are some legs that "twist" and can be seen better if you look at it from different angles. The angle of the picture may not show this connection.
Either way, I too would probably "pass" on this repair.
