I just removed and resealed the skylight in my C&C30 MK II this past summer with Sikaflex, and yes you must use their primer. But make sure you wear rubber gloves and protect everything from spillage or else you will have black stuff EVERYWHERE that doesn't come off. My hands had traces of that stuff for weeks. It's like India Ink. Mike

Hi Listers, Ok so I'm replacing the cast acrylic lens in the forward hatch. Is Sikaflex 295UV the way to go to rebed the lens? I got new hatch and handle gaskets from Atkins and Hoyle and sprang for "their" caulk stuff for the big hatch gasket. I see from the Jamestown Dist. website that if using the Sikaflex 295, Sikaflex recommends using their primer at 4x the cost of a tube of Sikaflex. Can I use alcohol or acetone or anything else that doesn't cost $83 for one small job to wipe the hatch clean? Are "spacers" required when I'm placing the new acrylic lens back in? Thanks for any help. (I looked for help on another site but not too helpful, suggested silicone or Dow Corning 795. ).
