I'm thinking about using it on my vent windows instead of the tape.
I couldn't find "glazing" urethane at the local flaps although some area's seem to carry it. What i found was a tube, like a caulking tube, of Windshield Sealant and it appears you an set just about any glass with it. The cost was about $15. I may try it on my wing vents but it will be a week of so... at least! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | I do know Autozone sell it,if my memory serves me correctly it's a 3M product.
Just don't confuse it with silicon sealer.
Make sure it's urethane.
Oh and BTW wear gloves! You wouldn't believe how hard it is to get off your skin.... Not to mention the Isocyanates.(Nasty!)
For a full windshield though, britcon's suggestion is the best. If you haven't worked with the stuff before it can be messy!
