Window sealants/touch up paint

[haygood at myway.com (Brian Haygood)]

The 3m stuff is Window Weld.  urethane with carbon black in it.  It looks and feels just like a soft tire when it dries.  I talked to a window guy a few days ago who said silicone stuff isn't used at all anymore and urethane is the thing to use.  I asked him about Window Weld and he said that was just a primer - which made no sense to me.  He's been outa the business for a few years, so maybe he had it confused with somethign else.   Anyway, use something urethane.
