Default Rear Window Sealant Quantity

Will the 3.5 oz cartridge of fuel tank sealant be enough to compete the rear window installation?

I can give you the exact amount I used tomorrow. I filled a syringe with the mixture and there was some left at the end. Only problem I don't remember the size of the syringe but I have another one at the hangar that I will check tomorrow.

It is probably enough to do three windows.

The syringe I used was 2oz and there was about 1/4 left at the end. Using a syringe makes the job less messy. I grinded the tip of the nozzle to make it easier to insert between the window and the skin. After grinding wrap the tip with electric tape.
