Glazing Compound on Plastic Windows

[bubblegummom]

We've had a couple not-too-big windows missing out of the back of our old garage for quite a while. Last week a couple came in to the fabric store where I work to buy vinyl to repair the damage raccoons had done to their boat, so I thought it might be a good idea to put something in there, just a couple of plastic windows, I think. The frames are wood.


But the Dap glazing compound says not to use it on plastic windows. Do you know why that is?

Thank you!

The chemicals in the DAP compound will yellow the plastic pane, only around the areas where it's touching.
It can be used if aesthetics are not an issue.

As long as it doesn't eat through it or something. Thanks!

It would be easier to just use a 100% silicone and you probably have that already.

when you are putting in the glazing, use glazer points to secure the panes in the frame. like pushkins said, use a white silicone based caulking. they make a tube with an angled applicator specifically for glazing - I think DAP makes it also
