Jeff, I just did my install, so here are a few things that I did..........First dry fit your windshield because you will probably have to trim it to fit. This will also give you an idea as to where you will need clamps or weigh ts to keep the edge in contact while the epoxy cures. I used a black marker to trace the trim line all around the perimeter. I called LP Aero, the windshield suppliers, and they suggested a cutoff whee l on a Dremel tool was OK for cuts bigger then 3/8". Further trimming shoul d be done with 80 grit paper in a belt sander. They frowned on orbital sand ers because of the sideways stress induced. You will need about a 2 mm space between all around for windshield expansion. Once it fits well, finish it with 150 grit paper on a wooden block to remove the 80 grit marks. This will prevent stress cracks later. Also round over all the edges, top and botto m, for the same reason. When ready to install, I used the blue painters tape around the outside edge of the windshield and the fuselage for clean edges. I also remarked the inside area and used the blue tape along those marks for a clean edge. I then first alcohol cleaned the epoxy edges of the windshield and fuselag e followed by 80 grit paper to roughen the inside of the windshield where the epoxy needs to adhere and the contact portion of the fuselage. Vacuum , alcohol clean again. You will need an assistant to simply get the windshield in place so do a dry run with the assistant using gloves. When you feel good about the procedure, you can mix the 420 epoxy. You don't need much. Once mixed and before adding the flox, I used a small brush to paint some epoxy onto the edges of the windshield and the fuselage. I then mixed in the flox until it did no t run, put it into a disposable cake frosting bag and ran a bead all around the fuselage edge. With my assistant, we placed the windshield in place, centered it, and applied clamps and weight to insure full contact. When I was sure all was well, I used my gloved finger to smooth the bead inside and out. I then carefully removed the tape and was able to inspect for any air bubbles under the windshield. If you find any, just press then ou t and add a weight until set. I always covered my weight bags in clear plastic kitchen wrap to prevent any epoxy from sticking to them. Good luck....mine went easier than I expected and came out nice.

From: "gerryholland" Hi 2 things. A 1"+ Surform, a woodworking tool can be used to shave down to appropriate shape as well as other suggestions. It works well and doesn't create heat. Don't slip! Secondly I used small self tappers pre drilled through Perspex to hold and tension screens into place after gluing by screwing them into upper fuselage. Several of us gotten this advice from a local Aircraft Company that service many Gliders in the area including lots of canopy replacement work. The holes left after glue sets and screws removed can be filled carefully and are hidden by paint line.

We can exceed the 120C maximum on long taxis on hot days but do not seem to lose any coolant. So at what temperature does it actually boil?
