Because the GlasWeld research team was already on another consulting project, we referred the job to our customer in the area, Stephen Nieri. Nieri found that the scratches were between six and nine feet long, on plate glass that measured 10 x 17 feet. Not only were the scratches very long, but the scratched area was 2-3 inches wide with multiple scratches.

Repair was the only option for this glass. The building doors were not large enough to accommodate bringing in replacement pieces without tearing apart the storefront, which would take too long, and the replacement cost was very expensive.

We found that the glass, which is about one inch thick, was called Starfire, a tempered, extra hard, and high iron content glass. This glass has no color and is optically very clear. We suggested that Neiri use our new compound formulation and some new disks, which allowed him to expand his working area to 9-10 inches.

Everyone involved was thrilled with the result. And while Neiri was working on this job, two more retailers in the Wynn Casino came to him to remove their own glass damage. This is just one example of the scratch removal opportunities that you can access with GlasWeld’s G Force Scratch Removal System.
