Hello all,
I am looking to your collective wisdom on the fixed port replacement on our 
1994 C&C 37/40+.  I am aware of the recommendations regarding VHB and Dow 795.
Due to time constraints, I am having a highly recommended pro do the work, and 
he removed one of the ports today.  He asked a reasonable question, since the 
plexiglass peeled off without pulling any of the Plexus off the gelcoat.  When 
he tried to pull a bit of the Plexus off, as many of you have commented, it 
also pulled some of the gelcoat.  The Plexus also quite hard.
So, if the Plexus is so well adhered, and it will be very stubborn to come off 
the gelcoat (and do damage in the process), Should I just leave the Plexus in 
place and allow the VHB to attach to it?  

I understand the thickness of the VHB might make the window stand out a little 
proud from the fiberglass by comparison, but I'm not sure that's a bad tradeoff 
compared to trying to remove something that might serve as a good substrate 
anyway.
Thoughts?  

Your input is greatly appreciated! Bruce Whitmore
