I used a very stiff 'putty knife' which I filed to a sharp edge.....slowly went
around each window from the inside tapping the putty knife with a rubber
hammer. I
got 3 of the windows out with no problems......didn't break any gelcoat. Then
the last window, the putty knife wouldn't cut out the top of window
#4.....I accidentally touched the bottom of the window pushing it out an little
and it broke free taking a big strip of the gelcoat with it. Another
repair job, the gelcoat and that's another story.
I used Sika 295UV and the Sika Primer......not regrets on the choice of
adhesive. The Sika has held for 7 years now.....very tight....no regrets using
Sika.

Dave,
There was a pretty good discussion on this subject back in November
and another lister (sorry, can’t remember who it was) posted his
impressive work on repairing and replacing his fixed ports. I posted
<http://roninrebuild.blogspot.com/2015/11/tools-for-removing-stuff.html> something
as regards tools that I used for removing the Plexus and prepping the
ports for new panes. Keep in mind that I’m repainted the entire deck
surfaces when the weather warms so I don’t have your requirement to be
careful with the surrounding gelcoat…
Anyway, I would think that if you don’t remove the old Plexus you will
not achieve a flush fit with the new panes.
Best,

In my window replacement project I've removed the old windows, most
of the old adhesive, done a fair degree of damage to the gel coat and
created one small chip in the surrounding fiberglass. There is a
layer of old adhesive (brown) between the two windows (and a section
where the adhesive came off with the old windows) which will be
covered by the new plexiglass.
Does anyone have a recommendation as to whether I should remove
(sand/chisel) the adhesive that remains between the wndows or just
bring everything else up to that level when doing the gel coat and
fiberglass repairs?

Doug and Fred,
I used the 1/2" x 0.090" also. Worked great and easy to use.

*Subject:*Stus-List 3M tape
I am looking for a source of the 3M tape vhb4991 to redo some
windows.
Secondly I would like some ideas on removing the old windows
I did 7 years ago with sikkens 295. Along with removing the
windows I will need to clean up the sikkens from the
fiberglas to accept the 3M tape.
Thanks
