I have to say I didn't take all the Plexus off if you mean the hard brown
stuff. Took a lot, sanded the rest, smoothed the rest with epoxy with 404.
Wet sanded 80 grit, then wiped with acetone.

Nice windows I’ll have to do mine too
Mine has been on the hard 6 - 7 years un protected
Is it hard to do fibreglass and gelcoat
Or can I just sand the old gel coat and reapply new one
It for the whole top deck and some part on the hull

My window project snowballed into a similar paint the topsides and deck after
some of the Plexus came out in big chunks. Those chunks needed to be filled
which needed paint over top which looked way better than the old paint and so
it started...

Your portlights look great. I've been working on mine and today finally
removed all the old Plexus using a combination of heat gun and chisel and angle
grinder with flap disc where the stuff was very thick. Spent most of the day
on it. Hope my new ones look as good. Have to wait till after
New portlight windows. Finally got them installed! Not perfect but huge, huge
improvement.
Locally cut acryllic grey 2064 tint, VHB tape, Dow Corning 795. Worked great.

On Tue,
I used a sharp chisel to remove the old glue. There was a bit of damage where
the gelcoat pulled off. I patched it with white epoxy filler and the new
acrylic covered over all my shady filling and sanding.

David,
Do you think it all needs to come off? Some of my is quite smooth and not
budging. If it does gel coat is probably coming up to.

Steve,
I'm in the process of doing this now without the metal frames that Leaky
Windows provides. I'm having two cut from 1/4 inch acrylic plexiglass grey
2064 tint at a local glass shop in CT for a total of $500. I'm going to affix
it with 3M vhb tape and seal it with the Dow corning 795

Steve and Larry,
Lunch over so I’m off to continue work on another very recent C List item,
stanchions, stanchion bases and the screws that secure them. In my case though
I’m installing all new S.S. stanchions…
I will put together a package (thanks to Richard Bush for saving my

There are many here on this email list that have done this job on their boats.
I just did it again last Fall.
Rather than boor the list yet again, if you want I can send you some
instructions on how I did it. Everyone has their own distinct method and I’m
sure that you will get a lot
