Anyone ever used SLIME HS from Sherwin-Williams to protect your windows when painting your plane?  You spray it on and it dries to a protective film.............then wash it off when done painting.  Was wondering if it would provide protection when glueing the window in also..........protect against accidental drips/runs of Weld-on. 

It is a bluish green liquid and comes in a gal. bottle.

I used Spray Lat purchased from A/S and it worked great.  You put it on with 

a paint brush(thick) and then just peel it off when you have finished 

working with the plexiglas.

I'd also like to hear from anyone who's used this or any other 

'REMOVABLE' coating to protect their plexi during the install process. 

there was a thread posted recently about a builder that had developed 

optical 'waves' after removing some scratched incurred during the 

install. I'm nearing this step/s and have a selfish interest.

Just removed my windshield due to a deep scratch on the inside as a result 

of a passenger putting their headset on the glare shield - bad idea to put 

anything on the glare shield that will scratch the windshield.  Tried using 

Scratch Off using fingers to rub the compound as the space was to tight for 

a buffer.   Bad idea as I managed to create an ugly distortion.  The old 

window is out and the new one is trimmed to fit and ready to glue in.



As posted earlier I coated all the plexiglas with Spray Lat (Aircraft 

Spruce) before trimming and installation.  Worked great.

How difficult was the windshield replacement. When looking at the -10 at

Van's, I wondered how difficult replacement would be given that it is

'glassed in (or so it appeared).

I know Spray Lat has been very popular with various builders.  I

recall it discussed in the past on the Canard list-serv and I think the

RV list here.  One important thing is make sure you put enough coats on

so you can peel it off easily.  If you get it on too thin it's not the

most fun stuff in the world to get off.

Do some research on Micromesh vs. Novus.  Both products are available

through A/S.  The process to remove scratches is a valuable skill set.

Distortion in the forward windscreen area is really important not to

induce.  Get a polarizing lens from a hobby shop and view your product

before installation.  Watch the stresses inflicted during adhesion.



LP plastics has a great document on the care and feeding of Plexiglas.

Copious amounts of water is always best.  Don't scratch it is second.

Les - We removed the window by cutting (die grinder) around the perimeter of 

the window.  Then using a screw driver pried up the plexiglas that was glued 

(I used Hysol Glue not Weld 10) to the flanges (sides and top).  Took 

several hours but it eventually came off.  A router would also work.  Sanded 

the flanges to get remaining glue off.  The fiberglass on the fuselage 

popped off very easily.



Don't know how difficult the job would have been if I had used Weld 10.



If you use Spray Lat to protect the windows in addition to putting it on 

thick don't leave it on for more than a year.

Here's a couple places:

  

 http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/mepages/spraylat.php

  

 http://www.wicksaircraft.com/catalog/product_cat.php/subid=2235/index.html

  

 Not  sure who you checked with but try AS or Wicks.

Kevin,



I'll try and find the number at the hangar Thursday.  It was given to me by 

a Lancair builder that used it for his windows.

Kevin,



The number on the Hysol glue I used to put in the front windscreen (first 

time around) was 6339.  Recently I replaced the front window and used the 

Weld 10 glue.  Both seem fairly easy to work with but the front window 

removal was not a real pain with the Hysol glue - hope I don'y have to find 

out on the Weld 10.

Mark,



Thanks for the reply.  Why did you decide to change the adhesive you used on 

the front windscreen?

Did the Hysol seem to bond well?  Now that you have used both which do you 

prefer, ie, application,

cleanup, etc?



Thanks,



Kevin

Kevin,



I went with the Weld 10 on the front windscreen the second time around 

because I was out of the Hysol glue and had the Weld 10 on hand.  The Hysol 

did seem to bond well as the windscreen was stuck pretty good when I removed 

it.  That said, the Weld 10 was also easy to apply and should work just as 

well as the Hysol.  No difference in clean up - mast well no matter which 

glue you go with.
