Re: Fixed window replacement - Dow 795 still the sealant of choice?
I also think Sikaflex 295UV is the better product. Their primer doubles as the black paint and is designed to go together with the 295.

Re: Fixed window replacement - Dow 795 still the sealant of choice?
Just an update from the OP. The 795 has been great, so far. We aren't finished. But, it is VERY messy.

McMaster.com has Dow 795. In 20 yrs of repair experience,, it has proven the best results with acrylic. Often overnight delivery...

Sikaflex 295UV is great at $23/tube + primer $$$.
Dow 795 $9/tube, no primer.

Re: Fixed window replacement - Dow 795 still the sealant of choice?
I paid $40 AU a tube for 795 from Lincoln Sentry in Queensland. I'm prepared to pay $40 next time but would be happy to pay less if someone knows of another source in Australia.
