The gap between a new Cockpit window and the frame must be sealed due to aerodynamic reason.
Cure time can be several hours so Boeing gives a solution in its AMM:
... If you must send the airplane before the sealant is fully cured, install Scotch 425 Aluminum Foil Tape, G00291 on the top of the sealant. ...
"Scotch 425 Aluminum Foil Tape" looks like duct tape and is known in the aviation as high speed tape.
