Proper technique requires removal of moisture and air that entered the chip/crack upon impact or over time.

Proper windshield repair requires a little time. First the injector/vacuum unit must be properly placed within the chip/crack. By placing the unit in vacuum mode the moisture and air could be taken off the chip/crack. Setup procedures and vacuum stages take about 10 minutes each unless lots of moisture remains in the crack where upon requiring the heating of the windshield glass to the proper temperature to vaporize the moisture. This allows the vacuum to eliminate any remaining water vapor. (This usually takes around 20 minutes.)
Second the injector must now be prepared to inject the resin to the chip/crack to start the windshield repair. The injector must be placed in injection mode and then cycled between injection mode and vacuum mode until resin fills the chip/crack completely.
