Hi guys,
I have been having success repairing defects and scratches in ES for local fabricators from time to time. Those few jobs have snowballed into a major manufacturer contacting me to handle all of their warranty claims and/or product service. Essentially, they want me to go and fix any problems that customers call them with. The scratches etc are no problem but I think my chip repair techniques could use some updating. So far I have just been using Interga Adhesives as the base to fill areas but it is not a good system if I am going to be doing more of these as i am pumping this stuff out of big tubes and wasting all kinds of product/tips when mixing colors. I don't know that I want to spend the $2000 for a UV light system until I am getting a steady stream of chips to repair, but please advise me as to whether you think that is the way to go. I think I should be starting with a Tenax - type of colorant kit that I can use to custom mix colors. I just don't know the right stuff to buy. There are expoxies, poly's, liquids, powders... On small chips I will just be mixing up the epoxy/poly and on larger ones or defect areas I will be mixing quartz chips in with the epoxy/poly and top polishing. Help!
