In the areas it bubbled out, it's is visible and ugly. I really need to re-do it some day. Where the glass attaches to the top, there is about 3/8" strip of overlap. The trick is to lay down a thin, narrow bead of the adhesive in this "strip" so that when it expands it won't ooze out of that 3/8" area. Unfortunately, I didn't know this beforehand. Also, since your window is still partially intact, you should have an easier time than I did. I would recommend practicing with some clear plastic (like some old CD cases) so you can see how the stuff spreads under compression and also how much it expands upon curing. I highly recommend the product if you think you can lay down a good bead. It has held up (remember my window came completely out) and has not leaked in the year since I applied it. |
