5. Adjust the mounting holder by loosening the cylindrical nut and sliding
it until the injector is correctly located above the impact point, then
tighten the nut.
6. Inspect the injector installation from inside the vehicle. Check that the
impact point is centered inside the injector head through the mirror.
RESIN APPLICATION
Read and follow all instructions before applying the resin.
1. Choose the best resin according to the type of breakage:
a. Polymer II: ideal for open breaks.
b. The thinner crack-filler: ideal for linear cracks, star cracks and mixed
cracks.
2. Before any application, check that the expiry date of the resin has not expired.
This date is printed on the top and bottom of the resin bag. Do not use resin
after the expiry date indicated on the bag.
3. Remove the injector from the holder. Inspect it for dirt or resin build-up on the
injector head. If necessary, clean it with a damp, lint-free cloth.
4. Remove the cap from the resin dose and cut the tip. Apply a drop of resin to
the injector head and distribute it around the ring to help keep it sealed on the
glass during the entire repair.
5. Then screw the injector onto the holder until you feel the injector head coming
into contact with the glass, then tighten the injector one last time by a quarter
turn. Then tighten the balancing screw until it comes into contact with the glass.
This will also ensure the watertightness of the glass.
6. Insert the resin dose into the injector. This must always completely cover the
point of impact. From time to time, for example, for a larger impact area (and/or
mixed crack), you may need a little more resin. IMPORTANT: The resin may be
attracted to the pipe during the vacuum cycle if too much is applied.
FIRST PRESSURE CYCLE
Note: If you work in cold weather (temperatures < to 0°C), some elements may
become rigid. For best results, keep this kit in a temperate environment before use.
1. Attach both ends of the hose to the injector and pump. To make these
connections, pull the sleeve of the quick coupling of the sockets and push them
firmly into either the injector or the pump cap. Release the sleeve, the sleeve
must snap into place. Gently pull the hose to check that the connections are
properly made.
2. To prepare the pump for the pressure cycle, slide the pump head towards the
pressure gauge.
3. Apply a pressure of 0.7-1.4 bar. Adequate pressure levels are reached in less
than one pump stroke, so increase the pressure gradually. Monitor the gauge
throughout the handling, gradually increasing the pressure to between 0.7 and
1.4 bar.
Note: If the impact increases:
- Release the pressure
- Reassess the impact area, it may no longer be repairable.
- Place the suction cup in the same direction as the glass breakage. This should
prevent the spread.
- Slowly reapply the pressure and hold it at a lower value for 30 seconds to 1
minute.
VACUUM CYCLE
1. To prepare the pump for the vacuum cycle, slide the pump head away from the
gauge.
2. Pump on the cylinder four to six times. This will create a vacuum that will suck
the trapped air out of the break. The pressure gauge should indicate between
38 and 63 cm of mercury, although readings vary depending on atmospheric
pressure. Maintain the vacuum cycle for 5 to 10 minutes. In case of longer breaks
or larger star breaks, a prolonged depression could be beneficial if you have
time.
Note: If you see bubbles coming from the edge of the injector head, it indicates
that the seal is not completely tight or correctly positioned. Tighten the injector
by an additional quarter turn.
3. At the end of the vacuum cycle, pump twice quickly. This will remove the air
trapped in the injector.
SECOND PRESSURE CYCLE
1. To prepare the pump for the second pressure cycle, slide the pump head towards
the gauge.
2. Apply a pressure of 1.7-2 or 1.4-1.7 bar if you are repairing a major breakage.
Gradually increase the pressure by monitoring the pressure gauge as you go
along.
Note: If the injector head expands, disconnect the hose, then reconnect it and
slowly apply new pressure. Then maintain pressure at a lower level.
3. Maintain pressure until the impact fills with resin. This may take 5 minutes or a
little longer. If the resin level is not sufficient to cover the impact point, just add
just enough resin to cover it. Then restore the vacuum for 1 or 2 minutes, then
resume the pressure cycle.
4. As the repair progresses, the air inside the break appears as black spots. If
they are visible, release the pressure and turn the injector half a turn counter-
clockwise. This will release tension on the glass while retaining the resin in the
injector on impact. The capillary action will fill the remaining areas of the impact.
If the impact is not completely filled after 10 minutes, repeat the vacuum and
pressure cycles again.
CURING THE RESIN
1. Disconnect the hose from the unit and remove the glass holder
2. Place a square Mylar sheet directly above the break.
3. Turn on the UV lamp and hold the break for 3 to 4 minutes. The polymerized resin
is hard with a light film on the surface, the uncured one is moist to the touch. If
the curing time exceeds 5 minutes, check the lamp operation and replace the
batteries if necessary.
Note: The lamp may not produce a strong beam even with new batteries and/or
in low light conditions, but at least a slight glow must be visible on either side of
the bulb. An optional holder is available to free you from having to hold the lamp
manually during the curing process.
5. Remove the Mylar sheet with a razor blade.
6. Remove excess resin by holding the razor blade perpendicular to the glass and
applying smooth movements.
7. Clean the windshield with an alcohol-based cleaner and a soft cloth.
Notes : Some impact points may require additional filling.
CRACK REPAIR
• Drilling method
Some cracks require the drilling of a path for the resin and the application of
pressure. We recommend the use of a rotating tool with a hardened grinding
wheel.
- For small cracks less than 5 cm long, drill a small hole in the center,
making sure it crosses the crack.
- Cracks up to 15 cm long will require up to three holes: one at each
end and possibly a third at the centre if the crack is not completely
filled by the ends.
Follow the procedures for installing the repair device by placing the injector on
each drilled hole. Increase the pressure to 1.7-2.4 bar. Observe the crack at an angle
that allows you to visualize the resin filling the void. Cover the crack with a Mylar
sheet as the crack fills to prevent air from re-entering.
CLEANING THE COMPONENTS
1. Remove the injector from the holder. Clean excess resin with an alcohol-based
window cleaner.
2. Remove the injector head and place it in a cloth soaked in an alcohol-based
window cleaner. Rub gently and pat dry.
3. Wipe the holder and opening of the injector, remove excess resin. Clean the ends
of the connectors.
4. Occasionally apply glycerin to fix the suction cup. The life of the piston O-ring
and pump connections will be extended.
ADVICES FOR BEST RESULTS
1. If you are just starting out, make practical repairs to a used windshield before
repairing a customer's vehicle. Your technique and results should improve with
each attempt.
2. Do not use glycerin on the injector head, as the resin may be contaminated.
3. Larger cracks generally require longer pressure and vacuum cycles.
4. Do not overheat the glass when drying a wet impact with a heat source. This can
lead to the propagation of vertical cracks.
5. Do not mix or mix Polymer II and sealant in a single injection, as there is a risk
of contamination.
WARNING!
• Use the resin only in a well-ventilated area and always wear protective glasses
and gloves. If the resin comes into contact with your skin, rinse thoroughly with
water and soap.
• In case your eyes come into contact with the resin, rinse them with water for 15
minutes and consult a doctor immediately.
• If the resin is absorbed, drink two glasses of water and immediately consult a
doctor.
• The presence of resin on vehicle finishes can damage them. Therefore, always
use a protective cloth on the repair area. If resin accumulates on the paint, do not
wipe it. Cure it with the UV lamp before cleaning.
• The presence of resin on the suction cup will damage it and considerably reduce
its service life.
