Costly mistake with Farm Borrowed Equipment!
What happens here
The creator starts by thoroughly cleaning the new glass panel using Sprayway glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth to ensure a clear surface. He then carefully applies blue painter's tape along the edge of the glass and the window frame, creating a precise line for the silicone caulk application. He cuts the tip of the GE Advanced Silicone caulk tube using a utility knife, noting his preferred method for a flat, even bead. He applies a continuous bead of caulk along the taped edge, smoothing it with his finger for a neat finish. He also reminds viewers that both the interior and exterior of the window will need to be caulked for a complete seal. After the caulk is applied, he carefully removes the painter's tape and gently closes the cab door, signifying the completion of the window replacement.
Goal: Apply a watertight silicone seal around the new glass and finalize the repair.
