Hi
Today I had a fun filled time trimming my windscreen in anticipation of installing it tomorrow.
Looking at the plans, it would seem that the inside of the windscreen, at the bottom, would merely reveal the epoxy / fibreglass used to glue it in place (on the outside). I am wondering if it is necessary to cover the interior with something so it looks finished.
Any comments / ideas?
Cheers
Les

Aircraft Spruce sells black dye specifically to color glass and resin. I used this on mine and it worked great.

I used carbon fiber for the windscreen lower section. I found the carbon fiber easier to work with then glass, and it looks cool on the inside.

Hmmmm
The dye sounds like what I want. Do you have a product name / description?

I painted the inside surface with a flat black to provide a view block like on car windshields

Hi Again
To quote Emily Latella, "Nevermind". I found the dye. Spruce lists it as a
pigment and not as a dye. I think I know where I can get it locally as well.
Thanks Again
Les

I painted the inside flat black for the first 1.5" or so.

I used black dye in the resin. Made it look like carbon on the inside.

You can also use copier machine toner if you any of that around. It doesn't take much to color the epoxy.

Flat black paint on the inside works great.
