bondo i know you wish you had these skills.
you’ll notice we didn’t scratch the paint of even put the slightest nick in the dash cover.:chair[IMG]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e246/1terpfan/z71/IMG-20101229-00031.jpg[/IMG]
you notice here, we were able to put the wiper arms in a special postion so as they wouldn’t be in the way.

it would be nice if someone actually put together a good how to on windshields.

I don’t do a lot of glass, but if I did do you a video, you would only hear about 3 words (repeated frequently). 👿 So anything useful I might have to say wouldn’t get said.

lol, i did a windshield on a honda a few days ago it was so frustrating. i thought maybe someone had a few tricks up their sleeve that they could share
[quote=”painter123″ post=16609]how about one of these http://www.aegistools.com/catalog/Power-Cut-Out-Tools/Equalizer-Express-StingRay-120-Volt-Standard-Kit-LDT204/%5B/quote%5D
I have a similar attachment for my air hammer that works ok, but the blade is slightly thicker than the equalizer. If I did lots, that would be my first choice of “proper” tools to use.
MoCoke, if you can get a blade like that and attach it to a heavy slide hammer it will work well, and is inexpensive. The trouble is, most vehicles have the high viscosity urethane that it a b*tch to cut. The older medium/low viscosity stuff is much easier to work with.
There are several tools out there, and if you are going to be serious about it, you will need a variety. Definitely need a razor (Olfa knife), piano wire (although it won’t get used much), a good pull knife and something like the equalizer. No 1 tool is perfect for every piece of glass (although some glass guys try to only use the equalizer, and wind up making a mess of everything).

dont make me do a glass vid equalizer breath:stoned :stoned :stoned :stonedwhat, ya’ll don’t like my air hamer and brick tools. honestly, i was goin to use a lot of packageing tape to put it back together.
and mocoke, the best tool for doing windsheilds and the easiest way, is too pay someone else to do it. hell a few keystone’s and bono’s on the job.
well we are gonna have ta cut lil d off he is slurrin again:rofl :rofl :rofl
and i call you precious.:chair :chair :chair :welc
well that’s a lot cheaper than the windshield tool I saw. It was some serious dough. I figure I’ll stick with the $15 hand tool :dnc
