Spring is here! What that means that I can start working on my baby again, whatever time I have being busy at work...
Dunno did I mentioned about my 25 skylight windows before, but they are happening right this now:) First I sanded and my roof and put primer on:
Then I scraped off insulation foam and put primer on the inside as well:
Got a sheet of 5mm polycarbonate glass, made myself a router table, cut the glass, rounded the edges and made a groove where it's gonna sit on sheet metal:
Summers on Vancouver Island hits +30C and I have to tint it, otherwise without AC I'll be as crispy as my bacon. But you can't use tinting film on polycarbonate because it always "breathes" therefore you''ll always have bubbles under tint film. Of course I had to try for myself to fail. I tested tinting/darkening spray from a rattle can as well. That failed too as it is nearly impossible to get even coat on just one 6x15in window, nevermind on all of them. So I found a solution to use an automotive wrapping film, a little dot perforated that is being used for adds on buses windows. It blocks 50% light apparently:)
