Brief Description:  Sec 45-18 step 2 left window

I've been going slow on these windows because I've frankly been intimidated by them. I figured I'de 'learn' on one going slow and then move on to the others. Well after today, I'm ready to move one. using the epoxy/flox/cabosil mixture took a lot of the issues about working potl life of Weld-on away. After test fitting the window several times I found the right combination of 960-4 washers to use as shims, I used a conbo of both the reg and the light washers. I had Judy standing by as I mixed up the peanut butter mix and applied it to the cabin window flange, I was a but worried about getting too much on and then having epoxy drip all over the interior, but that didn't happen. I basically troweled on the epoxy around the flange and ran a popsicle stick level with the cabin top and the edge of the flange to screed off the excess. I wetted out the interior edge of the window w/ clear epoxy and then placed the window into position and with Judy's help began installing the'fingers' they seemed to apply just the right amount of pressure and ensured that the window completely adhered to the flox and the flange without any voids. On the interior there was a little excess, but using a finger I was able to wipe it off and ensure a uniform fillet around the interior. The fine line tape was pulled on the interior before the epoxy set, and it turned out really clean. Thans Dave Mc Neil for the detailed instructions on Matronics!! a little cleanup on the exterior and everything is set to ocure overnight. Prepped the right rear window for install tomorrow.
