There are now 25 categories making up the TAGG forum.
As a member, or non-trade visitor, you will only be seeing SIX categories. The other 19 are hidden and locked away from view and can only be accessed by those with privileged member status.
Here's a taster of what is going on behind the locked doors:

- 5439 - TAGG member asks, is there a way of lifting in solo?
- What causes a stress crack?
- Ballistic glass
- Seat Exeo - an in-depth look at the glass options.
Training & Development:
- The importance of saying thank-you
- ATA Candidates to be assessed on communication.
- Picture thread by Buddy fan Matt - 'here's how I do it' !
For Fun:
- pop into the Glass & Glazier for an online beer and join in the banter, fun and games.
- see what Andy doesn't find funny (with pics!)
Looks like the locked area holds some interesting stuff, wish i could see all of it.
On Ballistic glass, i did a 5427 shape the other week, after some of our techs couldnt do it. Cut back fill away and used a BTB tool from outside first then finished from the inside with another tech putting pressure on the glass. Lifted it out fine but had to get another tech over to help lift it in due to weight.
Them Anti-Bandit Sprinters are very heavy, we do quite a few down here for the Police and they have them stupid Slide over Riot shields which have to be removed to replace the screen ! Rusty bolt heaven !!!
Done a few, they are heavy
This was not just your standard police anti bandit either. It was an outside layer of 12mm glass then two layers of polycarb, one 10mm and the other 5mm amd the poly carb part sits inside the aperture. sweaty work.

That's not automotive glazing - it's hard labour, end of.
12mm+ 10mm + 5mm = 27mm and two of them are polycarb! thats a boys windscreen!!!
