Thanks Dan and great to hear from you Zep!!
So I finished two windows (the fore and aft). It was difficult to clean all the boogered up crap the previous owner used. There was both silicone caulk and acrylic caulk used to seal up the old windows. The worst part was the po used silicone on both sides of the window...Grrrrrrr.
To clean it all up I used a lot of elbow grease but it was definitely made easier by using "Goof Off" from Harbor Freight. I didn't expect it to work at all, but it really did. There are youtube videos on how to use it.
Ace hardware has the right thickness of glass and can cut it. For my year that's 3/32 or close to 2.5 mm, which is what Ace has.
I did have to trim the windows a bit and Harbor Freight tools worked great. Used a HF "dremel-like" tool and the diamond cutting wheels. Again, there are you tube video on how to do this.
I sourced the glazing tape and seal from VTS. They worked perfect. Quality stuff.
To get the seal in place you have to press hard until it snaps in place. I used a clamp to make it much easier. Just started at one end and worked my way along the whole seal. Here's link to a quick video of it.
