I have begun the process of replacing the ~ 15 year old fixed windows
on Water Phantom. They have been leaking for awhile and are severely
crazed--so much as to be opaque.
Interestingly, when they were replaced I also replaced all the Lewmar
opening ports and none of these ports show any crazing--the
acrylic/lexan (not sure which is used in Lewmar's stuff) looks like new.
I'd like to avoid a repeat of this crazing on my new windows and
wonder if the list has some advice on the specific kind of acrylic or
lexan to use for the windows to minimize this in the future.
I am going with 3/8" bronzed acrylic but wonder if there is a specific
type that is recommended since there appear to be several different
grades of acrylic with different inhibitors, etc.
Thanks,
