Thanks for the info Clarity.Clarity Glass wrote:HBCC I've never cracked a chip out by using slide hammer on original break. That being said there are additional stresses from heat and manufacturing on edge of w/s so proceed with caution. The only chips I've had grow with slide hammer are from drilling tips. I've had 17 w/s crack out in 11 years...it happens.

Whilst I agree on the number bit, there is normally a reason why a something runs and noticing it before it happens helps.bill lambeth wrote:Heck I bet I am around thirty in ten years and yes some from the hammer !

Also I suppose what are we calling a run? 1/2 or 6 inches.

Easy fix as long as it is not on the inside layer. I find that they fix better in the dark area, clear up to the point that you have to look hard to find it when you are done. Just make sure glass is not to hot.

Re: Let's here your plan for this damage!
they dont "fix bettwe in the dark area". The scarring can be less visible due to the black background but you should use proper and adequate procedures to make sure it is completely filled. Damages close to the edge in the black perimeter band can be at a higher risk of a crack out so dont be fooled by the illusion of an "easier fix".
