So nice to see the glass finished, Jack. Complex and detailed, with risks ever present. (ps, "hydrofluoric" used to be the acid we'd etch glass art work with. Good to see this product now.)

Kent, the warning doesn't go into detail but says "Amonium/Sodium Bifluorides". Common sense mandates that if you can't spell it, or even pronounce it, DON'T TOUCH IT.

Steve, I'm showing 168 pages Anyway, I used a DA sander and 40 grit to knock down the rough edges, then 80 grit to smooth it out. Dry, no water needed. Light pressure and don't focus on any one spot for too long. It builds up heat if you do.

Nah, it's in user preferences, how many posts one wants to see per page.
I now know you're seeing double the pages as I am, so I went back to page 38 and found the glass info. |

I masked off thearea around the windshield to prevent getting any of the windshield adhesive on the dash or frame. It's difficult to remove if it gets on anything it's not supposed to be on.
I use DuPont Betaseal U-418 on windshields. It's a fast cure version of the U-428. This is what most OEMs use and it costs less than half of what 3M Window Weld costs. Dave to the rescue again. I had my buddy stop by and help me set the windshield. They aren't that heavy but they're big and have to be set in accurately to avoid smearing the bead of urethane. It laid down perfectly. Perfect fit. I was surprised at how accurate I made the frame considering I was in the rough-in stage when I built it. I do remember spending a lot of time getting the windshield frame as accurate as possible when I was getting everything roughed in, but I had to guesstimate some things in the process. I went around the perimeter with a flash light to check for full seal and found an area about 2 inches wide along the top edge that didn't seat. I gradually slid the windshield side to side while applying pressure to the front face and managed to reduce that gap to less than one inch. I'll let it cure like that and fill that gap tomorrow. The glass needs to be installed in its relaxed state. You shouldn't squeeze and clamp till the adhesive dries to seal a problem like this. The pressure built in will eventually crack the glass. I'll put the reveal moldings on after I seal up this spot.
