Don't forget your UV sun screen!

Ian Sprigg • June 16, 2022

Super hot days forecast ahead so here are some windscreen repair kit reminder tips for the ultimate bsi compliant windscreen professional.

1.Work indoors wherever possible. 2. If you can not work in doors move the vehicle into the shade of a building out of direct sunlight-You will still need your UV shield. 3. Do not even attempt starting a repair if you do not have clean UV resistant syringes. 4. Keep your repair kit in your van to work out of and close your windscreen repair kit case immediately. 5. Turn the vehicle around so its not facing the sun-You will still need your UV shield. 5. Cool the glass down by positioning the vehicle as mentioned in point (2 & 5). 6. Use a thermal shield prior to starting to cool the glass down. 7. Dispense resin in a 100% UV resistant way. 8. Decontaminate your equipment with acetone after every use. 9. Do not use a UV dome as they have 25% of the side missing and UV will still cure the resin prematurely. (Its like trying to fill a bucket full of water with a big hole in it). 10. Position GT 100% UV weather Shield (Clear) or UV shield (Blue) over your bridge BEFORE you dispense. 11. Do not dispense resin and then put the UV shield in place as the resin will be compromised in seconds! 12.If you have a UV shield which you have to remove mid repair to observe the repair you will compromise the resin. 13.We would recommend you do not even start a repair if you are not following these simple steps or similar.

BS AU 242b:2022 is the standard to aspire to and at GT we do all the above as standard.
