Narrative:
I was asked to go on a road trip to ZZZ at xa:30; did not leave till xd:30. After we were being escorted to the aircraft arrival time approximately xh:30; first thing we did was look at the log book and talk to control to find out exactly where we were with the window change. Around xl:00 we started installing and torqueing bolts; around xl:30 station personnel came and said he had to leave and we could not stay unescorted. We arrived back at the plane around xm:30 finished up the torquing and double checked; I read the manual again to make sure of torques and to make sure we did not forget anything; once done with torques around xn:00 am; I prepared the window for sealing and sealed the window with sealant and forgot to install the weather seals.I believe someone was called out to the aircraft because the sealant I mixed did not cure and it blew out.the aircraft was located in the remote pad; lighting played a big factor also being tired.
