I'm getting ready to install the windshield and am looking for a product 

to protect the plastic while I work near the edges.  I have seen a 

paint-on or spray-on latex that will peel off when the installation is 

done .... but I can't remember what the product name is.  Any ideas???

Not the answer you were looking for, but...I used some 20 mil pipe tape to outline the area that I wanted the fiberglass to end on the windscreen. 20 mil tape is very thick and durable which allowed me to sand down to it without fear of hitting the plexi. The rest of the windscreen was just covered with the plastic it came with from Desser...but that plastic is just there to prevent the random bit of epoxy or other debris from touching or damaging it. 



Learned the tape trick from Wally at Synergy Air.

You are probably thiking to this stuff referred to as "spraylat".

It's commonly used in the Rutan based construction of the Long EZ's and Cozy's but most folks have moved away from it due to the difficulty in removal when everything is done.  What we used building the Cozy and what I used on my -10 was common 3/4" wide electrical tape.  It stretches to form curves very easily and peels off leaving very little to no residue.  Do about 2 width's of tape wide, overlapping an 1/8", then follow up with a layer of duct tape on top of that.  Gorilla tape works very well and provides a good margin of safety from marking up the glass from sanding and other cutting tools.  The remainder of the transparency can be covered in heavy 10 mill plastic.

Thanks David!  I thought it was       'Spraylat' but Bing coughed up a paint company .... and I just       couldn't find it.  The search engine in ACS couldn't find anything       either ..... used a bunch of keywords.  I'll probably do your       suggestion.  Thanks.

I used it, and really liked it. You need to put multiple coats on, so that it will peel off later. I just painted it on with a brush. I can't think of the name, but I got it from Aircraft Spruce. It comes in a quart plastic bottle, and it's blue in color. I also have an identical bottle of mould release, that is green in color - they seem to be identical.



Looking on the AC site, I see two products that it might be:



Plastiease 512B, or PVA Release Film.
