Windshield Repair Forum

Fiji Moce Mada... I live in winter paradise...you live in ... well... paradise! Lets trade businesses and homes for a week or two sometime...? There could be a free bottle of corn huskers in it for you...

Bula from the Fiji Isles, i'd trade a bowl of traditional kava for one of those corn huskers.

If I have to move the injector for long crack repair I use vasaline

by Coitster

I have been using speed stick other than lip balm now because of the wider range of coverage, plus the coating is thin unlike vaseline.

plus its easier to clean

KY OR Washing up liquid, just a drop, works for me.

I checked on postage from here to Fiji - about $10-12 for a pound - Corn Huskers is $4 for 8 oz. Do you need drill burrs? I pay $120 or so for 100 at the dental supply place in town. They weigh about another half pound.
Personally, if I were in Fiji, I'd go to a drugstore or chemist's and ask the pharmacist what they have in the way of any glycerin-based lotion. Glycerin's the best because it washes right off with water.
Put me up in Fiji and I'll bring you a crate of Corn Huskers - drill burrs too.

When ever I've run out of suction cup lubricant I've used windex. Dose'nt hurt the windshield.

I have been paying for postage US$50.25 for freight services as what i gather from here, the risks are high that a lot postal contents do not reach its destination through your postal services.

Wilz,
Is that $50-plus for one pound of goods? Is Fiji far away?
I've talked with some guys in Australia who sell w/s repair tools and supplies, it was a while back and I don't have the info any more, but maybe you could do a search around there and save some money - not that I'm ruling out a tax-written-off business trip some day in the future.

Thats right J.T. US$50.25 per pound for freight. Fiji is located here with the South Pacific, a island nation like the many other that surrounds it. I have tried Australia and New Zealand but always got referred back to you guys in the U.S.

Sorry for re-opening this thread but I didn't want to start another one. And, I'm a little embarrased for asking this...but just how much glyde do you use to enable a bridge assembly to glide across a screen?:icon_redf I've been using the wicking method for repairing long cracks with good success. However, I decided to purchase a low cost bridge (one with a suction cup similar in size to Delta's) and try using an injector. I also bought some Corn Huskers (suggested by T.J. Windows). I applied some Corn Huskers to the screen and smeared it with a paper towel. I applied the suction cup and the bridge would barely move. I would have to apply too much pressure and risk further glass damage. Too much suction?? Not enough glyde?? Find something else??
