Yet another nice resource provided by Stu. (Please donate to the C&C Photoalbum.) I've used LifeSeal to set lenses in Bomar and other hatches. Works well. However, horizontal hatch installations are different than cabin portlights in later model C&C's. To create a nice looking seal around the edges of any lenses, tape the lens and cabin or frame, fill gap with sealant and smooth with the backside of a plastic spoon (Wendy's spoons work well. Radius is about right.) Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Mon, Feb 16, 2015 at 11:24 AM, PME via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Nice discussion.
