I used a GE product - "Silpruf" I think. The guy at Annapolis maritime plastics sold it to me out of his stock...it's what HE uses when he gets paid to replace windows.
Plus flat black spray paint... Search the archives...I did this job about 1 year ago and it's still holding up fine, even with 3 separate haulouts and blockings in 1 year, plus one short haul where I just hung in the slings, plus a ~14 hour upwind pounding during the Gov Cup in ~15 knots with our typical Chesapeake short chop. -Keith -----Original Message----- From: Kim Brown [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2013 9:17 To: [email protected] Subject: Stus-List Leaking windows-biting the bullet All, I am getting the boat out of the yard Thursday with a fresh bottom (after 5 years in the water year round it was time - though got to love Trinidad SR at least in this area). Also dealt with assorted blisters dings and gouges; torqued out a slight smirk; got the Martec rebuilt; replaced the cutlass bearing; replaced the dripping dripless stuffing box; dressed the shaft; lubed the thru hulls; addressed a centerboard 'issue'; and otherwise got it ready to float for another couple years. Once back home, I am going to tackle the frameless fixed lights-another project past due. I know from past discussions to get cast acrylic and use the old ones as templates- easy enough. The bedding choices seem to be between Plexus and Sikaflex 295UV. One requires a special mixing caulk gun and the other an outrageously priced primer. Anyone have an easier third choice that has worked well? I need good enough - not perfect. I want to get going as they are playing baseball here so the weather is bound to get out of the 60/70s and be warm enough to sail soon.
