In this episode of Put Them On The Glass, James “Ghost Set Killah” Chapman sits down with Mike Stevens from Sika for a deep dive into one of the most important topics in auto glass: urethane.

James and Mike break down real-world urethane performance in hot weather, cold weather, humidity, dry climates, and mobile installation conditions. They also talk about Sika’s crash test video, proper prep, substrate temperatures, minimum drive-away time, condensation, outgassing, bead control, and why technicians must understand the products they use.

This episode covers:

  • Urethane behavior in extreme heat and cold

  • Hot-weather sag, outgassing, and substrate temperature concerns

  • Cold-weather condensation, flash times, and product storage

  • Why proper bead shape and deck height matter

  • Mobile installation challenges in different climates
