Q. How much
does it cost to start a Windshield Repair
Business?
A. That
depends.
Liquid Resins International, Ltd. has several Windshield Glass Repair Kits to choose from. Our Basic Kit is only $499.95 and has enough resin to do approx. 80 repairs in the initial supply! Our Super Deluxe Kit is $1,399 and has enough resin to do approx. 400 repairs and two resin pumps to do two breaks at the same time! Since you can work right from your own home, it isn’t necessary to buy or rent business space. You should, however, get liability insurance quotes and have some funds set aside for advertising. Compared to other businesses, the LIQUID RESINS Windshield Repair System is very affordable! Remember, you get what you pay for ...
Q. Is
windshield repair hard to learn?
A.
No. In a nutshell, your goal is to fill
all the cracks & crevices with resin.
This is accomplished by using cycles of
vacuum and pressure. Once the cracks
& crevices are filled, the resin is
cured (hardened) by shutting off the
oxygen and exposing it to ultraviolet
light. Liquid Resins International, Ltd.
has the best video training course
available in the windshield repair
industry. It is very detailed and easy to
follow. An in depth training manual is
also available. For those individuals who
prefer hands on training, we offer a one
or two day course that will get you
started with confidence! As in most
things, practice makes perfect.
Q. There
seems to be so many different windshield
repair systems, why is Liquid
Resins’ the best?
A.
Several good reasons, the best being...We
Pay You!!!...but
there's more...
1. Our patented Resin Pump is the only
one on the market that allows air to be
vacuumed out first! With our design,
resin is loaded into an upper chamber and
once the vacuum is drawn, the resin can
be released from above. When the air flow
is reversed, (with the simple pull of a
trigger), vacuum under the resin pulls it
into the cracks & crevices and air
pressure above the resin pushes it in.
Most systems on the market deposit the
resin first & then vacuum the air out
through the resin. Our method is faster
& time is money!
2. Our Resin Pump can be used with or
without an external vacuum pump.
3. Our Resin Pump has a built in steel
probe to help speed the repair.
4. Because of the design of the Resin
Pump, it can be used on vertical glass
(for truck & bus windshields) without
an adapter.
5. The Resin Pump has a patented cam-lock
which allows the technician to lock the
injector and let it work for you while
your hands are freed to work on something
else at the same time!
6. The Resin Pump holding device is easy
to use! There is only one large suction
cup to place near the break rather than
three or four to line up simultaneously.
The arm that holds the Resin Pump adjusts
so that it is easy to place the tip over
the impact area! (Even if the break is
only 1/8" from the edge of the
windshield!)
7. The Resin Pump utilizes a white
boot-like tip to seal against the glass
rather than dark o-ring seals used by
other injectors.
8. At the end of the repair, any unused
resin can be recaptured and kept inside
the Resin Pump to be used toward the next
repair! This conserves resin and saves
money.
9. The Resin Pump is very light weight
and easy to work with. If dropped, it
won’t crack the glass or chip the
paint the way a heavy stainless steel one
would.
10. Last, but not least, the Liquid
Resins International, Ltd. patented Resin
Pump carries a Lifetime Warranty. There
is no better warranty on the market. We
stand behind our equipment and will
repair or replace your Resin Pump free as
long as you own it!!
Q. But
wouldn’t stainless steel or aluminum
or some other metallic injector be best
for commercial use?
A.
Not necessarily. Plastics such as
polypropylene are very durable. As an
example, consider a car battery. The case
is made of plastic. Inside are metal
plates and acid which eventually erodes
the metal plates while the plastic case
remains intact! Also consider how much of
today’s automobiles are made of
plastic. Since Liquid Resins
International, Ltd. offers a Lifetime
Warranty on its Resin Pump, this
shouldn’t be a concern. Not to
mention the fact that there are several
thousand Resin Pumps in commercial use
all around the world. Some of these same
Resin Pumps have been used six or seven
days a week for over seven years running!
Q. What about
resins, aren’t they all the same?
A.
Absolutely not! The best quality resins
have excellent adhesive strength and
maintain clarity for extended periods.
Since the only thing you leave behind
after repairing a windshield is the cured
resin, the resin you use is very
important to maintaining a good
reputation. Here at Liquid Resins
International, Ltd. the first test is an
adhesive strength test. If the formula
fails this test, it is discarded. If it
completes the test, then weathering tests
are conducted to see how well the resin
will maintains its clarity. When you stop
and think about it, the difference you
pay for a quality resin compared to a
cheap resin on a per repair basis is only
pennies. Most people agree that their
reputations are worth a lot more than
that!! The last thing you want is repairs
reopening and/or discoloring.
Q. Is there
any advantage to acid free resins?
A.
Since some people have allergic reactions
to resins containing acid, resins that
contain no acid allow them to continue to
offer windshield repair to their
customers. However, acrylic acid has been
proven to be an ingredient which improves
adhesive strength and is possibly the
best known adhesive for glass! All but
one of the resins featured in the Liquid
Resins International, Ltd. catalog
contain a small percentage of acrylic
acid to ensure the adhesive strength. It
should be noted that most people have a
certain amount of tolerance to the
chemicals that make up resin and have no
noticeable side affects, however, Liquid
Resins International, Ltd. does offer
"Protect II" (a skin
protectant) for preventive maintenance.
Q. Does
Liquid Resins International, Ltd. offer
any marketing assistance?
A.
Liquid Resins International, Ltd. is
primarily a windshield repair equipment
and resin supply house, however, one
whole section of our extensive training
manual is devoted to offering ideas on
setting up the business of windshield
repair. The manual includes a business
startup check list, how to deal with
insurance companies, sample introductory
letters, sample news releases, sample
forms, advertising ideas and sample ads,
face to face selling etc. We also offer a

Resins’ friendly sales staff is also
