Posted: Sun Aug 26, 2012 5:07 am Post subject: Interior Window Transitions

I'm finishing off the inside of the doors and I'm looking to put a fillet around the interior window transition.



I've been thinking about using 3M 4200 (or maybe even 5200) and creating a bead with my finger.  And I've also been thinking about using an Acrylic Latex Caulk (like this) to lay down the fillet too.

 

Before I use one of these, I want to feel pretty confident that I'm not going to cause crazing of the window and I don't have any spare pieces of glass laying around to test with.  The best I can tell, the documentation doesn't directly call out usage on acrylic glass.

 

Have any of you used these on your windows?  And if not, what did you use to create a nice, consistent fillet all the way around the transition?



Thanks,

Phil

Phil the lord urethane adhesive works really 

Good for this. You can paint it also.

Phil,

I'd be reluctant to use a "caulk" type trim - might be hard to get off and it might make a real mess. Most folks use a fabric edge trim. If you need to fill in a gap between the window and the trim welt (like I did) they make lots of nice tiny "rope" trim in different colors - such as black. Contact cement is all you need.



If you REALLY want to spruce it up, look up Pom Pom Fringe Trim... (g)

Proseal would work.  It's paintable.  Or just epoxy with micro.

I used proseal with the help of a good buddy who is a proseal wizard. It looks great.

The thicker weld on 45 bonded windows and formed a good paintable fillet. Yes, my paint is cracking around exterior of rear windows especially. No worries as it is not a showplane. Me, my house and car have cracks too.
