After all the windows were done I started installing the window glazing. I used Microscale Micro Kristal Klear for the windows. I used a toothpick to apply the Kristal klear to each window pane. It go on white but dries clear. It takes about 2 hours to dry but I let it sit overnight. The last photo show the first two windows after drying. I also painted the window sills with same paint as the door lintels/

Mike, using Kristal Klear looks like a very time consuming process that requires patience.  The end result is worth the effort.

Thanks Ron it really isn't that bad after working with it for awhile. It takes about 15 minutes to do each set of windows. There are 7 windows in each large window. It turned out to be the best way to solve the uneven backside of the windows.

Here is a photo of the finished wall and loading dock after painting, glazing and bolted together.

Next up is loading up the dock with details, before putting a roof over the loading dock.
