 Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2016 11:53 am Post subject: Caulk around windows? |
 |
|
Have any of you ran a bead of caulk around the interior side of the windows to make a fillet that transitions the glass to the cabin top?
I'm staring at a mixed pot of pro-seal (my current plan) but really don't want to string that oooey gooey stuff all rebound the inside of the windscreen. So before I did, I thought I'd ask the caulk question first.
My specific concern about caulk is crazing after long-term application.
So if you have used caulk, what type did you use and how long has it been applied to the glass?
Otherwise I'll just continue down the proseal path....
Thanks,
Phil

I wish I had bevelled the edge on the inside of the windows .... but didn't. There's no reason not to.

Is there a way to fret the windows like they do in automotive applications, I know one is glass , but SIKA makes primers so the windscreen can handle the caulking

I used SikaFlex 295UV, without primer. Most of the stuff is on fiberglass and it sticks to that without primer. I used 1/4" 3M blue vinyl tape to mask it, and pulled the tape immediately after applying the Sika.
Practice pulling the tape on a test piece first. You can clean up with mineral spirits.

Thanks. I'm talking about the interior side specifically. The outside is already completed.
