Security window Film?

Post by densiareei »

When using caulk (Dow995) on a window for the 2 step installation... what side is best for giving it a gasket look? Top and Bottom? or the sides? We usually tape the sides first then come back the next day and tap the top and bottom... Is this correct or does someone have a better method?

Well well. This could be fun.

I have no idea what a 2 step installation is, but when applying DOW you need to measure out the amount of "bite" on the frame and window and then tape that distance away. You will have tape on the frame and glass. If youve done it right, and used blue tape, it should look like a mexican restuarant.

After tooling the DOW the tape is pulled immediately to give a nice straight border, that looks nothing like a "gasket" to me. No offense, but it sounds like you are doing it wrong.

Especially if you're doing it to music (referring to the forum) ;)
