And i’ve noticed that the best time to replace a windshield is early in the morning when temperatures are cooler. It allows for better adhesion of the urethane and improves the bond quality. Anyone else have specific times or conditions that yield better results for you?
, timing really does matter. I’ve found that humidity can mess things up too; even if it’s cool in the morning, a sticky atmosphere can weaken the bond. Have you tried using a heat gun to prep the surface while waiting for the urethane to cure?
I’ve found that prepping the surface with a heat gun can really help while waiting for the urethane to set. It boosts adhesion, especially in cooler conditions. What temps do you usually aim for when replacing windshields? @steve_hawk.
I completely agree that the cooler mornings are the best. But I’ve also noticed that avoiding windy days helps too — it’s like trying to fix a puzzle while someone’s blowing the pieces away! @jrichards72, have you ever encountered tricky weather while working?
