 Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2009 7:29 pm Post subject: SilPruf window removal |
 |
|
A few people have asked about removing a window that was installed with SilPruf.
The weatherman said this would be a good time to take the plane down for a few days, so I decided to replace our sun-damaged window.
I pulled a little plug of sealant out of the groove on the outside. I was able to pretty easily put a piece of .020 safety wire through the sealant from the inside and fish it out from the outside. Then I just pulled the wire around the perimeter of the window. It took 10 minutes to get the window out.
I cleaned up the old sealant with a scraper and some Scotchbrite, and installed the new window like the others.

Dave,

I didn't use it on the windshield because of the time involved in molding a joggle into the lower section. It could be done, but it would be a lot of work. I might consider it if I ever had to remove the windshield.

Dan,
Here's the Amazon link for Silpruf:
http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1234844526/ref=sr_nr_seeall_2?ie=UTF8&rs=&keywords=silpruf&rh=i:aps,k:silpruf,i:tools
or you can get it here http://www.dkhardware.com/product-3620-scs2003-black-ge-silpruf-silicone-sealant.html for a couple dollars cheaper. I just trust Amazon a little more...

Dan,
You can get the silpruf in white, black, gray and bronze. I'm planning on using the black one like Dave did.
Before gluing the window in, you apply a very light coat on the glass where the window flange goes, and it will give it a uniform black color. Let that dry for a day and then you glue in the window.
I think it's worth getting the videotape from Airlinktech.
Looks like they sell the silpruf too, but they only have white and gray:
http://mall.igfarm.com/store/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=airlinktech&Category_Code=Supplies
I need to mention that i hate VHS. I needed to borrow a VHS player and then the tape was stuck, so i had to open it up and straighten out the guts inside before it would start playing...
Check out Dave's writeup about this at:
http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?t=39388
For what it's worth, Cirrus uses the aluminum color silicone on their windows.

Danny;
I bought the black. It is not paintable. If I had to do it again,
paint a small ring of black at the edge where the silpruf meets the
fiberglass. It would help the painters get a crisper line . I really
like the way the windows came out. I think it makes for a very nice
installation. If you are going to paint before you fly, you could leave
out the last fillet until _after_ final paint. That way, you could get
the silpruf to cover the paint as it wraps over the edge of the
fiberglass. It would look really slick then.
Dr Fred.

One more question..... there is a flange about 3/4" wide that the
plexiglass will sit on where the Silpruf will be bedded. Since
the Silpruf is white (I presume) what do you do about the white ring
that will be left around each pane where the Silpruf will show thru?
If it's clear then the pink canopy will show thru. Do you paint the
fiberglass first to eliminate this? I'm just trying to visualize the
procedure before applying the $18 per tube stuff. Thanks again, Dan
