Amazon has it at about 23.00 a can. It's not cheap. The reviews on the product are generally pretty good, and my welder guys claims excellent protection with it. He has done quite a few bus windshield channels.

Yes, great picture documentation of what a bitch of a job it is to do. Nice work and after color coat you just have to install the glass without breaking it.

That is drop dead gorgeous! Great job!
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
