It was not quick setting. One of the essential keys is the spacers between the new glass and the hull frame so there is sufficient thickness of sealant. We drilled small holes in each corner and used screws to temporarily hold the glass in place while it cured. It is very sensitive to shelf life, temperature and humidity. As I recall it also recommended the boat be on the hard so there was no movement while curing and something like a week to fully cure

I have reattached with Plexus or Methacrylate in the past and it appears that I am up for another try. Anything new or is it still plexus adhesives .
