Dave;



Thanks for the write up on the windows.  It looks like a good product 

after reading the data sheet. 



Three questions. , one request.



1. how many tubes does one need for doing the 4 windows?

2. best price /supplier to purchase?

3. I couldn't get the link to work for the video.

4. could you provide a close up picture of the finished edge?



Thanks.

Hi Fred



Here is the link in a smaller form: http://tinyurl.com/2ndhr9



Dave's link was broken by a line break in the text.

I ordered 4 10 oz tubes, $68 including shipping total. If I have any left there is my building buddy Mr. Kaufmann who will most likely claim my leftovers. From what I read on the instructions, I'll need at least one tube after paint. Here's the link I bought it from.

Fred,



We bought 5 tubes and used 3 1/2.  The final step was done several months

after the first, so one of the partially used tubes was wasted.



I get SilPruf from a company called Lowry's in Hayward, CA:

http://www.halowry.com.  Late last year it was about $6/tube.

Here are some pictures.  The black all blends together so one picture is

edited and labled so you can see the different parts.  Real lilfe looks more

like the unlabled picture.

Dave, Les and Rick. 



Thanks for the information and pics.  Zooming in on the pics gives 

enough detail to see how the bead lines up on the outside.   I think 

with your help I can make it look good.  I ordered 4 tubes from 

Technology LK for $67.  Now if I could quit this day job and get back to 

work.  How did they ever build an airplane before the internet?  Musta 

been real men and real airplanes.



Thanks

Dave,

  

 I would also like to throw in my thank you for sharing.

  

 This discussion has been centered around using SilPruf on the side windows. Did you also use it on the windscreen?

Vern,

  

 I  installed the windshield per the plans, then overlaid a thin fiberglass layup  over the exposed bond at the joggle.  The edge is painted gloss black to  match the other windows.

  

 The windsheild could be installed with SilPruf but it would require quite  a bit of rework in order to create a joggle along the bottom edge.  I  wasn't quite prepared to do that.  Maybe next time.  The results would  be very similar to the other windows.

Dave,

  

 Thanks for the additional explanation. I think installing the windows is one area there is a need for more information. The workmanship is highly visible and it's not like you can drill the hole out and use an Oops rivet. 

 Thanks again,

  

 Vern
