I have used it twice, once on DG units to avoid casual removal of the units
when the beads were removed and then on laminate to make glazing in
some storm doors more resistant to kicking in. It is reputed that when
fitted with tape it is impossible to remove the glass from the outside
without breaking it . Removal in case of breakage is from the inside by
cutting the foam layer, much as windscreen fitters do.

The rebate must be scrupulously clean of course.

Yes it does, thanks.

Do you think that the rebate should be left as bare wood or primed?


I didn't want to have the bond between the primer and the wood in the loop,
so placed it on the bare wood. I suppose the ultimate would be a bond to
metal but I stopped (just) short of lining the rebate with 3mm Alu & using
Alu angle as the glazing bead ;-)
