Does the bridge have to be plugged in to use the curing light. I had mine charging for 4 hours and it won’t turn on if it is unplugged

Ethan,

Thanks for the email. The Vanish charging block MUST be used in order to charge the unit. If you are using a standard USBC cord plugged into a standard cell phone charging block or any other for that matter, the unit will not charge.

Please give us a call if you need any further assistance.

how well does this work for "vertical" (bus/truck) windshields? Would it need an adapter to achieve high quality repairs? I have a hard time "filling" the cracks with my spectrum on these types of windshields.

Hey Jeff, I would get the Corner/Edge adapter for those vertical bus/truck windshields. This add-on will really allow you to kick that injector up at an angle to get those vertical windshields. Plus, the end-seal on the vanish is much more flexible than the spectrum, adding to your ability to do repairs at an angle. Here is th elink for the corner/edge adapter. https://www.gtglass.com/products/vanish-corner-edge-adapter

What is the vacuum of the Vanish compare to the Spectrum?

The Vanish can achieve vacuum around 24 inHg. The Spectrum is around 16 inHg.

How do you do edges and corners with this thing?

Hey Brian, great question. The Vanish will have a separate edge/corner adapter for this exact purpose. This will ship for free with any Vanish purchases through June 30th, 2019 and will cost an additional $120 after that date.

What makes this better than my pro vac zoom

Hey Thomas, great question. The most significant improvement over the Zoom and any other tools available on the market is our DarkCure technology. Patented, Fully integrated Sub 15-second curing that is so intense that you don't need a pit square. 150-200 repairs between charges via an internal rechargable lithium ion battery pack. The vacuum capabilities are on par with the zoom (both can achieve approximately 10% less vacuum than our vacuum pump-driven automatic Maxim system) and the pressure capabilities of the Vanish exceed every manual system currently on the market. Our speedlock plunger makes it super simple to lock in pressure and vacuum stages and it features our OneTouch air release valve to equalize air in the system between Vacuum and pressure cycles. Both tools feature a tripod design self-leveling bridge, but what we've done with the Vanish is incorporate the helios quarter turn adjusting system. Insert the injector in the bridge and give it a quarter turn to seal on the glass every time. We have a 4-year warranty on any electronic components in the Vanish Bridge and all injector components have a lifetime warranty. Feel free to give me a call at 970-247-9374 if you have any more specific questions.

Best,
