[PSUBS-MAILIST] Windows

[Jon Wallace]

It looks like GL has similar wording, depending upon actual usage and 
detailed testing agreed to by GL a service life extension may be 
granted.  For the person desiring a certified vessel I agree new windows 
would probably be a cheaper route unless you were very sure the existing 
windows would pass the required testing. Scratches are a no-no however 
so you really need to get them completely buffed out.  The heat produced 
in buffing may justify annealing however if the windows were 
manufactured to PVHO standards there's a lot of safety factor built in.
