Auto glass shops have used wire to remove bonded glass ever since manufacturers started “gluing” them in years ago.
For years we used anything that would work: guitar strings, piano wire, etc. Most “piano wire" is weak and will break several times while cutting out a windshield. We had TightWire designed to our specifications especially to cut urethane. Our customers report cutting out an entire windshield with one piece of TightWire and not breaking the wire. TightWire is composed of three super-strong, stainless steel wires braided to form one wire, and anodized to a smooth finish and a distinctive gold color.
Includes one roll of our TW72 TightWire (described above), one set of TWH500 TightWire Grips and one WS782 Wirestarter. The Wirestarter is a hollow, stainless steel tube that is pushed through the urethane. The wire is then fed through the tube and the tube is removed, leaving the wire started through the urethane. To use the grips, unscrew the two halves, insert the wire into the small hole, bend the wire over and pull it around the center at least one time. Then, twist the handles back together tightly.
Kit includes one TW72, one WS782, and one pair TWH500.
