What does anyone use to Seal the edge of laminated glass, where the two pieces meet?

Black acrylic enamel paint seems to work although perhaps there is a professional sealer.

Thanks 19 Fordy.

Maybe I am showing my ignorance but why would you want to seal the edge of laminated glass? I am assuming that the edge to be sealed is exposed, would sealing edges that are fit into a rubber seal improve anything? Thanks...

Early laminated glass was so bad about delaminating a black seal was applied to all exposed edges. Check an old original car and you can see what I am talking about. Eddie

If you don't have the black edge the judges will get you. LOL

Thanks guys, learned something new today. So is it acceptable to use black enamel as 19Fordy suggests or is there some sort of glyptal (http://www.glyptal.com/products/1209tech.pdf) or other coating that is more appropriate?

Here is a detail from a Ford glass drawing showing the glass seal.

Wow that is interesting...I didn't realize that the seal was actually recessed in between the layers of glass.
