: : I am installing laminated glass windshield (Cabin Skiff) and wonder if anyone has some suggestions as to what products adhesives/sealants to use?
I wouldn't recommend silicon to install this window. While it is excellent for glass-to-glass adhesion, it adheres poorly to wood and "not so good" to other surfaces. As I don't know what your glass will be mounted to (wood, metal, etc.) I cannot recommend the "best" material. However, urethane is the way to go with vehicle glass. 3M makes several systems but their product application guidlines are somewhat ambiguous. As I don't have enough data from your post, I cannot recommend specific products. An automotive paint store will have some window adhesives, ask to see the 3M catalouges. They offer about 10 different materials for glass install.
