Hi Chuck,
Let me assure you that Plexus MA-320 is as hard as a rock. A putty
knife blade will not touch it. I spent a good part of today trying to
grind it away with little progress.

Removing old windows.
Someone earlier suggested using a MultiTool with the "putty knife" like blade.
Fein made it first and there are many copies. Harbor Freight has it on sale.
That's what I'll use.

Maybe you did not have a clean surface for the VHB tape to properly bond.

Bruno,
I solved this problem by aligning the windows before removing the protecting
film from the VHB tape and hanging the windows in place with two strips of wide
masking tape from the top side(like two big hinges). You can take the time to
align the space just as you want(i.e. readjust the ma
I rebuilt an A&H hatch with 295UV. It certainly was persnickety about the
cleaning, the primer, and the timing. But I don’t recall it as being
particularly messy to apply or to clean up. And it has certainly never leaked.

Besides being bulletproof, a good reason for using polycarbonate is that it is
much more flexible than acrylic. You do not have to force it, it will almost

One thing I noticed in these specs is that the VHB tapes have generally better

I replaced my throttle cable 2 years ago. The "after market" clamp had split
the outer sheath and moisture getting to the rod had caused it to rust and
become stiff. I chose not to replace the clamp and to use the internal bolt in
the pedestal to set the tension. Worked ok for a while - but is

Yikes! Thanks for the info. How to choose?

Rob,
Agreed. When thinking about the tape I did a quick Internet search and came up
with many versions of the VHB tape.
I use a software package (OmniFocus) for project planning and under the “Fixed
Ports Repair” list of actions is a new one to investigate the types of adhesive

Point being, make sure you get the right tape for the job you intend to
use
For those who are interested, I talked to ITW Plexus today and asked them
if there was any solvent that might soften the MA320. They said,
unfortunately, there was not.

Dave,
I think I’ve finally been converted over to VHB tape. After seeing the video
and seeing the comments on here, that is what I will probably use the next time

The process seems very straight forward and only requires one person, who is
not in a rush to get done before the
