Posted: Thu Feb 05, 2009 7:08 am Post subject: Installing Door Windows

The instructions call for installing the windows in the doors while the doors are not on the plane.  While it might be easier that way, I am wondering if there would be any advantage of bonding the windows while the doors are on the plane, locked closed.

My thoughts are that it might be possible to induce a small amount of twisting/distortion when bonded off the plane, vs being bonded on the plane.

Thoughts would be appreciated.

If you're using Weld-on, the stuff runs.. it is MUCH easier to do it on a 

table than the plane.

I did it on a table and there was no issue. I would suggest putting the 

Weld-on while flat, let it sit (after all the tape is removed) than put it 

on the plane after 2 hours, and lock it down, not needed but that would be 

be better than the mess that would occur from the weld-on dripping down the 

door.

Much easier to do off the plane.  Any small twist will be taken care of 
	


by the hours of filling and sanding at time of final prep for paint.
