Re: Stus-List Window Installation - 1985 41

My auto windshield was replaced last year and the adhesive used was a Sika product similar to Sika 295UV, only with a faster curing time than the version we would by at a yacht shop. I used Sika 295 UV as the adhesive on our new cabin side ports 6 years ago.no complaints with this product.

The combination of puncture resistant windshields, along with strong bonding into the vehicle, makes them part of the passenger containment system and as such the engineering and assembly process both come under federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) control. This means that quality cont

Re: Stus-List Hand rail replacement teak or Stainless ?

I made new teak handrails for my C&C29mk1 following the instructions in Don Casey’s book. It was fairly easy, took only an afternoon, and the cost was about $100 for a pair(mostly cost of teak). But I needed access to a table saw, planar, and router which I do not own. The handrails (outs

Based on my experience, I think that it would be a very bad choice. My boat has 3/8 plexiglass screwed and glued on top of the gelcoat with something like plexus, that sticks very well to gelcoat, but who ever did it could have used a bit more as it leaked in a few places. So I used white 3M

I have not used VHB tape on portlights but I have used it on many other applications, one was securing my GoPro mount to a slalom ski.. High vibrations, water, you name it. The stuff is nothing short of phenomenal. As for bonded port lights helping with structural integrity, auto manufacturers

Re: Stus-List Window Installation - 1985 41

Hi, Nice discussion. I am looking to replace my window lenses soon too(likely go w/ 1/4” grey Lexan). I like the idea of using 3M’s VHB tape along with an adhesive/sealant. I have read somewhere (I lost the link) of folks using VHB with black 3M 4000/UV with great results. I have used 4000

Curtis, Your fixed ports are no doubt acrylic (Plexiglas). I would think they would be 3/8". I've replaced mine twice over the past 15 years. Cast Plexi is stronger than the standard extruded variety. The original Plexi was bronze. I chose a smoke grey, which I think gives the boat a more mode

Dennis, Could you share the Beneteau window method. Possibly take pictures w your cell phone and attach to an email? I read an article about a boat builder in Port Townsend using black paint first to color the entire window area for asthetics, and then he uses adhesive to secure windows on hi

Chuck, Only in a few spots, but that was mainly because I lost some patience in prepping the surface and it came up. I also added some silicone around the edges to make sure no water got in there. That also smoothed out the edges so nobody would snag or cut themselves. My crew

Find a Beneteau with the in hull ports. Look carefully at the ports. The white ring around the perimeter of the port is paint. No clue what paint they used. I have a copy of the Beneteau port installation procedure. They use a primer and one part adhesive. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandevill
