Ok that is what I thought.  Sometimes your translation is a little off, but I understand what it is you are trying to say.   Keep up the good work.

If glare was not an issue and you use glass not plastic for your window, Rain-X has both outside and fog products that work great. I often wonder why TV news weather cams don't use it. It also helps keep the glass cleaner longer.

Rain-X works for plastic and glass.

I had always been worried about the silicone and plastic.

Yes Sam ,for this reason i wrriten at labels in English ,for the benefit English speaking readers of this forum.
I know English but not all good,yes sometimes i use translation for to read in Greece.
If there are words where i do not know.

Hey, I love your accent! I have the same situation with a Mexican friend. When needed, I computer translate my English to her Spanish and her Spanish to my English. I enjoy the way the words are ordered after translation. Sometimes it makes more sense after translation, if you think about it. At least within the "Romance languages" based on Latin and Greek. Cultural diversification is a great thing.


That's a nice project you're putting together but one question - how can anyone work in such an orderly shop? You need some chaos and disorder in there!

I thought chaos started with a K!     If I keep learning things, I'm gonna Get Smart!

I've used it  for years on plastic headlamps on the van with no ill effects.  YMMV of course.  There have been threads in the motorcycle groups about interactions of Rain-X and Lexan though.  You could always go for stuff made for Lexan if that is an issue:  http://www.shellaviationstore.com/order/enlarge.cfm?bus_unit=PRO&doc=PROD%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&show=asp_menu&item=AER1029%20%20%20%20%20&bus_desc=Flight%20Jacket

Whe I first read this I thought it was about silicone not sticking to the PVC electrical box I tried using WELD-ON #16 CLEAR MEDIUM BODY SOLVENT CEMENT to attach a small piece of plexiglass ( I do not know if it is acrylic or polycarbonate) and 2 pieces of 1/2 inch cedar ( end grain, and side grain) to a Carlon PVC weather resistant electrical box.  It took a lot of force to break them loose, and in fact, the wood failed, not the cement.  It certainly gives the joints a cleaner look that a bead of silicone.
