Hi, The procedure outlined by Don Casey in a Sail magazine is excellent.
To add to Casey’s article, I traced the old port and cut the material slightly larger with a sabersaw. I then sanded the edges down to final size with an orbital sander. This worked easily and produced nice results. I also found great prices for acrylic/lexan at eStreet Plastic. I used 3M VHB tape and Dow 795 both which I purchased from McMaster-Carr, and I sprayed the under-side, unmasked area with Krylon Fusion. Here is a link to the article. http://www.sailmagazine.com/boatworks/replacing-fixed-portlights <http://www.sailmagazine.com/boatworks/replacing-fixed-portlights> On 2015-04-20 7:24 PM, Jeffrey Nelson via CnC-List wrote: > Given the amount of water dripping onto my galley table, re-caulking > isn't going to do it for long. > > Take your windows out, take them to any place that deals with acrylic > and have them duplicate them...if you break your windows make a template > out of 1/4 plywood to take in. > > Let me know if you come up with a good glue solution...I'm looking to > do mine again, as I apparently didn't use enough glue or clamping and > my windows have sprung out a bit...enabling water to get in... > > Cheers, > Jeff > C&C30 Mk 1 > Muir Caileag - Paul E. 1981 C&C 38 Landfall S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL
