Re: Stus-List Butyl Tape or 3M Tape on Windows

So Harry, just to confirm, the windows are secured in the cabin top by just the 3M tape and then they are caulked with Sika 395. No fasteners whatsoever and no major installation bracing or clamping? How long have they been in place? Rich Knowles INDIGO LF38 Halifax, NS. On 2013-03-06, at 3

Re: Stus-List Butyl Tape or 3M Tape on Windows

I used the 3M double sided tape and Sika 295 on Mirage with excellent results. Be sure to scuff and prime both surfaces...you'll never get it off! The tape acts as a clamp and spacer to ensure a consistent sealant thickness. pictures to follow... Harry Sent from my iPhone On Mar 6, 2013, at

Stus-List Butyl Tape or 3M Tape on Windows
