6. Guiding the Hand-held Edge Deletion Tool with your hand, move smoothly along the
glass, providing firm pressure to remove the desired amount of coating. Deletion must
not extend past the sightline.
Putting too little pressure on the tool will not remove enough coating. Putting too much
pressure on the tool may cause damage to the glass and premature deletion wheel
wear. If the deleted coating glass looks streaky, all of the coating has not been
removed - you may need to modify your edge deletion technique. Be sure to pass the
glass under the deletion head as uniformly and smoothly as possible. Moving the tool
over the glass too quickly or in non-uniform fashion can result in the wheel “skipping”
as the glass moves beneath it, leaving streaks.
To determine if the coating has been completely removed from the edge, you can test
the deleted area with an ohmmeter. The coating is removed when the ohmmeter
shows no reading. An ohm reading indicates the edge deletion has not been
successful.
