wet glazing pricing?

[Ryker]

Hey guys,

I am going to be doing a job with security film and need to use some wonderful glazing. I have not done any of that yet.... I just wanted to see what I should be charging for doing it. I can lay caulking quick on home projects.....

Thanks

Its never enough thats for sure..lol 1-2 bones per linear foot is a good place to start. Try placing the tubes in ice water prior to using, helps make it go on better. Practice a bit first, its not like regular caulk.

1-2!? Hells no. 4-7 is more like it. Never tried the ice, but it makes sense.

BTW, it sucks to do. The way I know where to put my tape (depending on bead size) is I tape two AAA batteries and a sharpie together. This will yield about a half inch or better bead. Lay it on the glass and mark the frame, then on the frame and mark the glass. I cut a trowel down to smooth the DOW out. Make sure you immediately take the tape off.

Well at least we can tell who's never wet glazed before.

I have some big dealers who sub the work out to avoid the mess and the drama involved with the 995 learning curve. I would practice on something that doesn't matter before going anywhere near a paying job site with it.

If you are fairly busy right now I'd honestly sub it out and go make more money at what you are the most efficient at.. tinting. Take a look at the big picture, if you get tied down on a glazing that doesn't make much and could potentially go bad why not make money tinting and sub the work out and make a little on it. If this was the winter maybe I'd say take it as a learning project.

I try to avoid using it at all costs...lol
