Without telling us what it is you are doing, it is very, very hard to help you.

What specifically is it that you are doing, step-by-step.

Attach files, Upload files here button, upload pictures, find file from browse button, click.

Right?

You've done it successfully before, right? So you know how to upload them, I think. (If not let me know!) If so, and you're getting an error message, make sure the image files are jpegs and that they're of some reasonable size. If they're over one megabyte they will need to be reduced.

Ok now that the pictures are up, what was the point? ;)
Because I have a boat load of questions.
What did you use to seal and mount the windows?
How did you hold them in place while it cured?
Were your window openings indented or flush with the cabin surface?
How did you cut the acrylic?
Did you bevel the edges with a router or by hand tool?
How are you trimming the inside edge of the fiberglass?

BTW: The windows look great.

So the 795 cured in 30 seconds? Wow. I read some where that it was recommended to drill holes for screws to hold the windows in place waiting for the cure, then remove screws and fill holes with silicone. I new there had to be a better way.
Better living through chemistry.

Congratulations on a beautiful job.
