Hi Gary,
What an asshole! In all of my dealings with you you've been more than fair; actually,
much more than fair. And I've always felt grateful that it was you who
performed all the work. Moreover, there's an invaluable piece of mind and confidence
knowing it was you who did the work. You're a true gear head! (That's
a compliment, by the way...).
I'd have the loser fly up and then you could take a look. It there are issues
or the window settled then fix it at no charge. But I would make sure that he
has the money/check and if it's a check then make him go to the bank with you
when he comes to get the plane. Otherwise, lock it up in your hanger.
My dad did autoglass for over 50 years and has a fantastic reputation for his quality
of work. People would come from miles away to have work on their classic
and rare cars. He's truly an artisan. And so are you.
If you ever need a referal, don't hesitate to give a potential customer my number.
Cheers Brother!
Eddie

I would think that just the threat of doing A.would get the thief to pay his bill....I'd
tell him that after his check cleared then you would be willing to discuss
not doing A and perhaps consider doing repairs......

Thanks for the kudos, everyone. =C2-
The latest is that the check is in the mail (not sure how much the check is)
. =C2-
SC indicated that the plane would be brought back, but didn't say when. =C2
-
SC sent pics of the windshield. =C2-It looks like the windshield has settl
ed forward into the coving. =C2-Not sure why. =C2-When I removed the old
windshield, there was a lot of clay in the area at the front under the loca
tion where the 3 screws go in the front. =C2-
The windshield was pretty snug when I installed it. =C2-We'll see what hap
pens then I get the plane back. =C2-if I get the plane back.

The most important lesson I've learned on this repair is that the lo-adhesio
n sealant, PR 1428, is VERY difficult to remove. =C2-It's rubbery and the
surface is slick. =C2-The correct sealant, PS 890, will scrape and tear of
f in chunks. =C2-The 1428 is like silly putty; it'll stretch and then slip
out of the needle nose pliers. =C2-So far, I've got 30 hours in cleaning
out the old sealant. =C2-
I'm having a helluva time getting the 1428 out from between the spar and the
wing skin. =C2-It's globbed in and I can't get it out. =C2-The really b
ad part is that the 1428 closes off 90% of the gap, lengthwise between the r
ibs, between the spar and wing skin. =C2-The 1428 completely fills the gap
and is about 1/2 inch thick along the spar. =C2-
Any ideas? =C2-
I've tried thin scrapers. =C2-I can't get the scraper more than about 1/8
inch before the scraper gets stuck. =C2-
I tried a hacksaw blade to see if I could cut it down. =C2-It won't cut.
=C2-
I'm going to try dental floss to see if I can cut it away from the spar.
=C2-
Safety wire?
