Measuring a Hidden Gap - BluTack Hack!
Measuring a gap between two panels is sometimes very difficult. If you have access, that's great as you can just use a Vernier or tape measure to take a quick measurement.
The difficulty comes when you are trying to measure a gap somewhere you can't see or access. There is a fairly simple trick that allows you to take this measurement using a piece of BluTack.

    Another way to fit these is to fit the rubber to window first, then insert string all the way around the inside of the panel section of the rubber, offer up to panel and insert as much as possible then pull string from inside the van or boat etc and have someone pushing on the outside. As the string is being pulled it pulls the rubber over the panel. Still not an easy task, and a two man job this way but did work for me with far less fruity language.

    This is the best vid on YT for this sort of thing. Simple and straight to the point. But let me tell you, it's a heluva job. Don't even try it without the tools. If You're using claytonrite, best you buy their tool, and if You're using stiffer rubber, around tighter corners, I found that flatter z shaped tool works best. Without a seacond pair of hands it's almost impossible if you don't have pre bent rubber. Friendly advice too, ditch the soapy water, and use silicone spray, and don't save on it. It will do you good.

    These rubber sealers are giving me a nervous breakdown...I am trying to fit them in my boat windows. You have to cut them at EXACTLY the right size, about 15 mm extra. Than you put in the window and then you often come up short on top. When this happens you can throw away the rubber seal and start over. Trying to use too much rubber results in the window being pushed outward, now you have to cut of a little piece of rubber seal to make it fit. But hey...don't cut off too much otherwise ( you ve guessed it) you can throw away the rubber seal and start over. I am down to my 3rd try now. What makes it difficult is my boat windows are not nice and square sized like these but have an odd shape. This job is maddening and insanely difficult...

    • @philhoward1436
      @philhoward1436 3 года назад

      Historically this is the way that they are always fitted. As long as the joint is tightly fitted together it does not really matter where it goes.

    • @lastaccountbannedfortalkin1449
      @lastaccountbannedfortalkin1449 3 года назад

      Because if its at the bottom gravity causes the pane to squash It and with vibrations it cuts the seal where the join is. If the join is on the top then the uninterrupted band at the bottom has no weak spots for gravity and vibrations to cause failure. Its a gravity thing. Cheers

    Good to see a real life fitter and not some slick salesman showing the bits that went easily without a bit of a struggle. Does the filler strip go on the inside or outside, just thinking of security if its on the outside? Just one point however, I would have used a small paint brush for the lubricant with a bit more care and evenly spread.

    • @sealsplusdirect
      @sealsplusdirect 5 лет назад

      The filler strip always goes on the outside as it puts pressure on the window rubber to make it watertight.

      Do it while everything is hot. Wait for a hot day and leave everything outside so it softens. When you put the window In try to not do it one corner at a time rather do one side aka 2 corners and push it in evenly so it's not got all the bend on one corner. Hest is the key so is keeping it clean and use loads of washing up liquid I put fairy platinum on them neat from the bottle then squirt hot tap water into the seal from a spray bottle so it barely washes the green colour out. They pop in easy if everything is warm and lubed out it'd face. I twist the strips too before doing it to make them more supple. It's not that hard tbh

  • @lyndafrost7782
    @lyndafrost7782 5 лет назад

    Great little gadget. I did find I needed to use the silicone spray twice. I have just finished my first window and, because I didn't want the join at the bottom it was more awkward to start at the top. I did find it easier to pass the tool on its own around the whole window rubber, thus easing the black rubber, which I guess has hardened. Having done this I was then able to slide quite a long length back through the gadget and around the window. The last bit I found a bit tricky and admit to using a screwdriver to assist !

    I have not tried your exact product, but it looks just like other EPDM rubber products on the market so I suspect it would have the same problem I experienced with two other brands of window mounting gaskets. What I am referring to is that the gasket you show is very flexible and easy to bend ... what I received was quite the opposite, stiff and unyielding. Even boiling them for an hour did not materially change it's flexibility, particularly in the narrow gaps where the glass and/or body panel was to fit. I found it impossible to join glass/body and gasket together around even a very gentle curve.

    • @sealsplusdirect
      @sealsplusdirect 5 лет назад

      Seals + Direct window rubbers are manufactured from a good grade of EPDM so are flexible to fit. There are a lot of cheap alternatives on the market that use cheap grades of rubber with lots of fillers in them so are difficult to fit and have a short lifespan, so I expect that the ones you have tried are of this quality.It is always advisable to pay for a good quality product which makes fitting easier and lasts a long time.

    • @sealsplusdirect
      @sealsplusdirect 5 лет назад

      You could try finding the joint in the rubber and then cut a thin slither out of it from the inside and outside and pull through. You can then measure the widths of the gaps for the glass and panel. Then just put a squirt of silicone sealant in the hole to stop water getting in until the new rubber arrives.
