  • Clean and dry the windshield before applying the water repellent coating to ensure proper bonding.
  • Use a single clean coat for even coverage and allow the coating to cure for about an hour before use.
  • The water repellent coating causes water to bead up and run off the glass, improving visibility in wet conditions.

Boating enthusiasts know that a clear and unobstructed view is essential when out on the water. In a recent episode of Tech Talk, Aaron demonstrates how to seal and apply a water repellent coating to a boat's tempered glass windshield.

To begin, the windshield must be cleaned with boat soap and dried thoroughly. Next, a two-in-one product that cleans and seals the glass should be applied, making sure to cover the entire surface. An even coat is crucial for optimal results. After applying the product, the glass should be wiped down with a clean microfiber towel. This process should be repeated for all the panels of the windshield. It's important to allow the product to cure for about an hour before using the boat again.

Sealing a boat's windshield glass helps to protect it from the elements and keep it clear and unobstructed. Additionally, the water repellent coating ensures that water droplets bead up and slide off the glass, making it easier to see in wet conditions.

In conclusion, sealing and applying a water repellent coating to a boat's windshield glass is an important maintenance step for boaters. It helps to ensure a clear view while out on the water.
