 |

Group...
Linda and I glued the windows and wind screen in permanently last weekend using Weldon 10. Worked much easier with cooler temps ... below 70 in the garage early in the morning than when we did the doors a few months back. (I put one bottle of weld10 in the fridge overnight and it seemed to be even a little slower to set up)
These turned out pretty well. On the outside of the windows, I'll use some lite weight cloth to fair the transition from plexi to fiberglass.
What are the options on the inside of the windows where the weldon - plexi - fiberglass cabin frame meet? Mine's not terrible and I attempted to smooth out the fair with weldon but it could be smoother and more consistent. Is there any kind of caulking that will smooth the transition?
Thanks,
Doug

For window interior, maybe Geoff Coombs from Aerosport Products (www.aerosportproducts.com) can be convinced to add close-out rings to his product suite. They would, cover the Weld-On fiberglass edge, cover the edges of any headliner, and they would match the other interior plastic panels that he offers.
For those that have not glued in the windows yet, tongue depressors and Dixie cups worked great. I used these and applied a thin layer to the fiberglass then the window and then put into position--no crazing, no leaking.
Also, you can get a Pint kit of Weld-On #10 from eplastics.com, Enough to do ALL windows at a very good price.

Doug,
One option is to wait until you install the interior and then go with
something like Flightline interiors (http://www.flightlineinteriors.com/)
has which is cloth sewn around some foam to form a bead that goes around the
window. Looks very nice, however make sure you use plenty of glue and force
a little extra material around the window if possible as mine shrunk
slightly and pulled away from the glue.

Redmond Air has fiberglass rings that cover the offending areas and I think will help hold the headliner in place too. I have not bought them - just seen pictures. Check redmondair.com
