Cold Weather and Cracks
Is the crack volatile? How long has it been there? Is it moving?
If there is moisture in the crack it has to be removed, and the best way to do that is with heat, so although I prefer not to submit long cracks to drastic temperature changes I do heat cracks to remove moisture. The important thing to remember here is that you want to warm the glass slowly, and if at all possible warm the entire windscreen. Once the glass is warm, a heat gun with a concentrated tip or a torch may be used to dry out the break.
CAUTION: This is not for the faint of heart. As most of you know I am not a big fan of using a torch or heat gun on damaged glass, but when it comes to long cracks, moisture evaporators just don’t always cut it. However, using a torch or heat gun greatly increases the chance of a crack out, so I strongly suggest that you only use those methods if you have practiced this technique at least a couple of dozen times.
If the crack moves when you apply light pressure near the end or if the customer tells you it has moved within the last few days, I recommend drilling the end and popping a small bullseye at the end with a Delta Kits Slide Hammer. I also recommend drilling any crack over 3″ long as a precautionary measure.
If the windscreen is over 70° F and there is no water in the crack do not heat the glass. In fact, if the crack does not stem from a star or combination break fill it as well. I would not warm the glass unless it was under 60° F. The reason, as the glass warms it expands. If warmed too much the crack may expand…. Continue Reading
