I currently use 3M #33 electrical tape to cover the caulking bead, it looks OK by the ten foot rule. Because it's only 3/4" wide it doesn't draw too much attention to itself. Rich can vouch for that. Maybe. When we first got the boat, everything leaked. I spent the first winter with every hatch and window taped over, and I found the best tape for that job to be the 3M Performance tape. Good bond, very low residue even after 6 months, and 1 1/2" wide. <http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3M_Industrial/Tapes/Products/Masking-Duct-Tapes/Duct-Tape-8979/> On 25 November 2012 07:28, Rich Knowles <r...@sailpower.ca> wrote: Hah!

When your first mention of this was posted I googled it and found some and ordered it, we use if to wrap around fingers so we don’t sand our knuckles all the way off.

Worked OK. Nut size could be anything in the range 3/8-9/16. Likely 7/16. Take the set. Rich Knowles INDIGO - LF38 Halifax, NS From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of allen Sent: November 21, 2012 09:18 To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List Leaking Cabin window lites After a long recovery from leg surgery I was able to board Septima this weekend. She was floating gently in her slip, undamaged by Sandy, but I was appalled when I went below to find that there was fresh water everywhere. The cabin window lites that I had replaced four years ago were coming unglued and admitting rainwater. Septima's lites are the flush mounted type and I specified the proper glue as discussed in this forum, but I was not there to supervise the replacement. Also I noticed that the plastic panes were starting to craze, but I can't get down a try to polish them out yet: my calf won't support that type of activity. My question is, what can I do to stop the leaks in the interim while I'm working through my longer term options? Is there a tape that will seal the edges and last through the winter? Is there some caulk that will seal but be easily removable when I redo the job properly? Another question. I am going to remove the cabin handrails to refinish and rebed them. When I pop off the cabin headliner access coverlets ( they're big enough to admit a socket on an extension) I can see I'll need a deep well socket to unscrew the nuts. What size deep well socket is required?
