I took off all the Gel Coat from the rebates, not only to give a good bond but the windscreens are slightly thicker than the rebates and taking the Gel Coat off also minimises the amount of filler needed to get a good transition from the plexiglass to door and fuselage mouldings. I also removed the Gel Coat from the side of the rebate so the Araldite gets a good bond around the edge of the screens as well. I filled the edge gap with the araldite rather than filler. Worked ok for me although I still have the filler task to do to get a smooth profile. Good time to put the windscreens in - no problems with the 420 curing in this heat! -------- Regards Kelv Weston Kit 497 kelv@kdweston.biz Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=507660#507660 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
