Re: RE: Window gasket?

[Rick Bensyl <rbensyl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I used about 17 feet roughly to complete the project. The trick (according to the glass experts) is to lube the tracks and gasket with a wet bar of soap, then position everything. Too long a gasket and it bunches up, will not smooth out on the glass. I will use Sikaflex to bond the windows in place as the tech tips suggest. The gasket fits the glass without any adhesive- glass expert said if its the right size its better to NOT use silicone on the gasket. 

Take care!

It is black rubber (vinyl gasket glazing is what they called it) and designed for 3/16" glass (which is what I have in mine), and is the right height to fit the channel on the San Juan 23.  They wanted 39 cents a foot for it.
