Richard Giles [00:00:10] And we're about to do a SMART repair on this, on this Gulfstream. You can see by the scale. Baldemar is on the camera. This is the scale, I'll give you, which is typical SMART repair. It's maybe an inch in length, but it's on the forward left. So it's very important to actually capture this. What I'm going to be doing is at each level we'll do a small video clip just to show you the build-up, the stock up and everything else. And then we'll finalize with the kit itself to show you exactly what we needed to get this job done. The first thing we're going to do on the process would be to wash, sand, polish, and wash, that's our first and critical change that we're going to prepare this, and on the next clip, you will see how we manage to secure a local repair with a perimeter tape just to keep things away from the glass, etc.
Richard Giles [00:01:08] You can see the repair in its entirety. Again, surfaces, sanded film, white, untouched film perimeter tape, a little bit of paper around there just to stop any anything, any activity around the surface. And what I'm going to be doing now is, we mix the express. I'm going to be delicately filling this in to get opacity but leaving this border untouched and obviously this one completely untouched. And you'll see where it's going to be a gentle feather to get this within this framework back to color. So I'm going to be doing that right now and stay on it. [Inaudible] We can see the first coat is over the repair, it's a very delicate repair, keeping the border on, and painted, and then we'll be feathering out, concealing this, and getting it invisible into what we call SMART. And then we'll cut and buff obviously. So that's the first coat. And we'll get back to you when the repair itself is done. OK, this is the actual repair, complete and still wet, of course. We just completed this. As you can see, it's it's a perfect blend from the face. And we have to sign and polish around the edges, we do have the lamp and readiness to accelerate. Just to discuss what we used for repair, we use the little mini jet here and for even smaller areas, you have the airbrush, no lines. That's for rivets, any small seams, sealing seams, all inclusive. Comes with a small little five mil vessel. But we have the two modes of application, and this one we use the small baby.
Richard Giles [00:04:26] So we finish the repair somewhere here. [Off camera: Did you forget where its at?] Somewhere here. And perfectly faded in you could see the loss, I suppose, watch my finger. [inaudible] nothing. It's essentially disappeared, very acceptable, considering we started with quite a deep scratch. Thought about, what's what what are your thoughts? Can you stand over there and appraise? Is that everything? Met expectations?

Baldemar Gomez [00:05:00] That's, yeah, I mean. Blends the, yeah, no. Mind blown.
Richard Giles [00:05:07] Ten out of ten?
Baldemar Gomez [00:05:08] Ten out of ten.
Richard Giles [00:05:09] Thank you so much. Well, there we go from, one SMART repair and it's actually taking, would you say, one hour actual working time?
Baldemar Gomez [00:05:21] Yeah, I'd say one hour.
Richard Giles [00:05:23] One hour working time. So there we are. And we didn't affect the glass. No masking as such. Very localized, out the door.

Richard Giles [00:05:34] We have the Bondo board, of course, the gun. We've got the new sandable sealant here in case there is a repair needed. We have a guide coat and this is the prep side to business. Depending on what you're finding, the lower the number that, the heavier the grit. So these are the prep side. In this case, we finished with 320, which is the standard abrasive desk for refinish. Of course we're supplying the tape. This is a small punch that we use to convert a three inch or six inch to an inch disk because we have two sanders, we have a three inch, and we have an inch denibber. And with this punch, we can punch out any grade, any grit, and there it goes it becomes a little localized DA. Previously discussed, we have the two spray guns. We've got the mini-mini, which is for ultra small areas. We've got our baby. Gun cleaner, of course. Can't do without that. CMO one fifty eight. And also we have alkaline soap, this was for the washing and buffing. Two buffer's at hand. We've got the air big buffer with a small one battery pack. And again, the pad cleaner. We end up with a black foam. And these are the refinished signs. We go from 1000 to 3000. I'm hoping on this one to start finish with 3000, which is the finest. Again, that can be cut down to the inch side using the punch. Filters, paper, tack rug, PPE and polish. So it's pretty comprehensive to get all of this done in a case to do any SMART repair in any field. Any questions, let me know.
