Mark Cooper (aka CharlieWaffles on VAF) went with an alternate install process
that avoids glassing over the seam. Check it out:

You can also read about it on his blog:

Since he just installed and isn't flying, he won't be able to comment on the success
(crack avoidance) for a while but I can tell you that it turned out looking
very nice.

Mark's methods is very similar in look to the SilPruf style that Dave Saylor
referred to in the archives. I think the Lord Epoxy Mark used probably has
a stronger bond than SilPruf but that is just a hunch as I have not tested
it. SilPruf is softer and more flexible than the Lord Epoxy. It works well
as the "filler" for the transition from transparency to canopy. Dave Saylor
will have to comment as to how well the silpruf has worked for him over
time.
I glued in my rear windows w/SilPruf but I am not flying.

Guys,
I've decided to build an RV 8 to sit alongside my 10 (I have the acrobatic urge
too frequently.....).
Anyone know of a pneumatic rivet squeezer (3 inch jaw) and a dimpler no longer
in use that could be bought?

I used 1" RC model airplane fiberglass tape by Great Planes, available at most
hobby shops. It is a nice tight weave product that is fairly easy to work with
and blend out.

I did the same as Myron, installed windows per plans as far as the adhesive
goes and used the 1 inch RC tape. It was easy to work with but I do have
some hair line cracking at 430 hours.
Perhaps the RC tape is too light, maybe two layers?

The only thing I'm not thrilled with is that the SilPruf has weathered a
bit between the window and the cabin top. But it's not that bad, maybe
some elbow grease would clean it up. I notice it stays a little chalky
after I clean the rest of the plane but it's still soft and pliable so I'm
not worried at all about the bond.
We've been flying for almost five years.

That sounds more like a frequent need to build. I would love to help
your habit but I'm going to keep squeezing my unit and my dimpler in
case I get the urge again....
