How much adhesive do you need?

As a rule of thumb, one cartridge does one window. Our two-window kits are sized for a typical single-side or front-pair fit; the twelve-window kits are for full conversions or trade users glazing multiple vans.

Cartridges fit a standard skeleton gun and suit occasional use. Sausages (foil packs) need a sausage gun but work out considerably cheaper per window and produce less waste — if you're glazing a whole van or doing this regularly, they're the better buy.

Why bonding, not rubber seals

Modern vans are glazed with polyurethane adhesive, not rubber gasket seals. There's a good reason: bonded glass is structurally stronger, completely waterproof, sits flush for a factory appearance, and doesn't develop the leaks and perished-rubber problems that older seal systems eventually do.

It's also genuinely achievable at home. The process is straightforward — clean, prime, apply an even bead, set the glass, hold it square while it cures — but it's unforgiving of shortcuts. The two things people get wrong are skipping the primer and rushing the cure.

Primer matters more than you think

Prime both the glass edge and the cut edge of the aperture, then let it flash off fully before you bond. Primer is what forms the chemical link between the adhesive and the surface. Without it the window is not properly bonded, and it also protects the bond from UV and stops the cut edge rusting. It adds twenty minutes to the job and it is the difference between a window that is still sound in ten years and one that isn't.

The fitting clamp

Holding a pane square against wet adhesive while it grabs is the awkward part of the job, particularly on larger windows and particularly if you're working alone. Our adjustable fitting clamp holds the glass in position while the bond cures, so you're not standing there for half an hour with your hands full.

For a single small window you can manage without one. For a full conversion, or anything larger than a small front pane, it makes the job substantially easier and the result noticeably better.

Trims

Finishing trim covers the join between glass and panel, giving a clean factory-look edge and protecting the bond line. Our bond and trim kit includes both so you can order everything for a two-window fit in one go.
