Re: Question about Drilling

Well said DryStar.
I only drill if the entry point, after cleaning out - does not accept the resin.
Even then, I only remove the smallest amount of glass with the drill, and not always downward either.
Once the resin flows into the repair, like DryStar said, it's a matter of flexing the glass with the probe, a good set of eyes, and patience.
Some of those radial arms (legs) can be pretty tight, but the flexing and the resin's ability to "reach" works every time.
Avoid drilling at all cost, the more glass you remove, the more visable the repair will be.
Another thing to note, is that applying too much pressure on the injector, instead of flexing will "delaminate" the repair.
It looks like ballooning around the radial arms. I think the repairs, although are just as safe - look terrible.
Cheers,
Pommy
