Now that I have bought the 4991 tape some questions occur to me. Assuming I want the tape to just outline the window opening, can I cut the the tape to go around the corners without sticking to the scissors or sharp blade? The shape of the window opening has some rather quick, tight turns. The radius of one turn is no more than the radius of a dime.
Another question is about the use of the Dow 795 silicon. When do I apply the silicon? Because the tape is 1/2" wide and the some of the window will extend more than 1/2" beyond the tape, if I put the silicon on before affixing the window I can see the silicon squeezing onto the tape as I apply pressure. If I put the silicon after sticking the window in place I can see difficulties in getting it into the area that is less than 1/8" thick. Another question is more of a long term problem. Assuming that I have my boat until the windows need replacing again, how will I be able to remove one if the tape is "permanent". Any other suggestions about the use of the tape will be appreciated.
