Procedure:

1. Start creating a glass remake in AccuTerm

3. Write what line will run the remake on the remake sticker.
   1. All lines are responsible for running their own remakes.
4. Store the original label at your line.
5. If the unit had a grid, a remake grid sticker will print out automatically.
   1. If the grid is undamaged and outside of the IG unit, place the remake grid sticker onto the grid and then store the grid on the lose lite remake line cart.
   2. If the grid is undamaged and inside the IG unit, place the remake grid sticker onto the bad unit and give the unit to the remake glass cutter to cut the grids out.
      1. Once the grid is cut out, place the grid remake sticker onto the grid and put it on the remake grid tree.
   3. If the grid is damaged, take the remake grid sticker to the grid area for a remake to be made.
6. Hand the remake sticker to glass remake cutter.
   1. SS and DS lites will be taken to the northern remake location.
   2. 3/16”, ¼”, and temp lites will be taken to the southern remake location.
7. For mixed lite remakes (DS with 3/16" or ¼”):
   1. The glass cutter will cut the first lite at the northern remake station.
   2. Place the remake sticker on the newly cut lite.
   3. Blackout the lite that was just cut on the remake sticker.
   4. Take the newly cut lite and remake sticker to the southern remake location.
8. For Wildfire remakes:
   1. Print a duplicate remake sticker.
   2. Blackout the opposite lites on both stickers.
   3. Take the annealed sticker to the southern remake location.
   4. Take the tempered sticker to the tempered line remake board.
9. Place the remake sticker onto the newly cut lites of glass.
   1. Place the glass in the correct designated IG line remake cart.
10. IG line team leads are responsible for following their remakes to completion.
11. Once both remake lites are at an IG line, the unit will be run, and then placed in the IG remake cart at the end of the line.
