installing velum windows with no distortion...

i recently downloaded some of the windows paul has made available and had them printed on velum…here’s the link…

there is one slight problem with velum…it doesn’t like the moisture in white glue…which makes the velum wrinkle and distort…

the method outlined in the following two photos shows a way to install them with no distortion…

there may be other installation methods…but i like this one because the stiff cardboard frame is much easier to handle than velum and readily takes the white glue…

my very best regards…

Thanks for the tip, Howard. Can't wait to see the whole building.

Interesting solution. I installed mine with Aileen's tacky glue and had no problems except that I had a hard time getting it to stick down. Also this bottle is REAL old and very thickened more than fresh is. Perhaps contact cement would serve.
