What this video covers

Sven Yrvind installs windows on his small cruiser by fabricating custom spacers to ensure a proper fit.Watch He sources small pieces of adhesive-backed rubber to serve as the spacing material, which he obtained at no cost from a local supplier in Aaltobyg.0:33 The installation process involves testing the rubber strips against the window frame to determine the necessary thickness and compression.1:10 He allows the material to set for at least 24 hours to verify the final dimensions before finalizing the seal.1:10 He applies a light coating of oil to the spacers to facilitate the installation process.1:22 This method addresses the challenge of mounting windows that cannot sit flush against the hull structure without an intermediary material.
