 |
|
I've joined Tim Olson's ranks of having to sand down some of the plexi on this first window that I glued in tonight.
I think I've outdone everyone in my personal feeling of the quality of the install.
That being said, aside from only one large air bubble that I can get to fairly easily, I think that I've really only created extra work, and haven't done some catastrophic deed that could only be fixed with a new door/window! I'll have to add some epoxy to the exterior seam areas that didn't completely fill up; I'll have to build a fillet on the inside of the door after having to cut so much electrical tape back out a la Tim O (even after only waiting 15 min!), and the rest of the cosmetic stuff will be covered by a thin layer of glass on top of the seam, which I was going to do anyway so that really isn't adding any work.
I'd like some more info/pics on getting a nice smooth curve of -glass around the windows. I hear 2 or 4 oz, right? Just enough to cover the seam and be able to fair?
Three windows and a windshield to go.
More tips? I figure next window I won't need any electrical tape on the rear of the window. I'm installing on the bench so runs aren't that bad on the back.

Planning on flying for a long time while I take my time to do the paint prep - the freshly birthed airplane won't be a Gerber baby!
