Unless ordering Dow 795 outside of the USA is a problem, I don’t see why one would consider an alternative.
It is a great product which costs under $10 per cartridge via McMaster.com <http://mcmaster.com/>. Besides using Dow 795 for fixed ports, there are other uses too. I have used Dow 795 to bed new lenses in two Atkins and Hoyle hatches. Dow 795 also adheres the EDPM gasket seal to the hatch frames and lenses as well as the A&H recommended Silaprene (which is a real pain to obtain). I have also used the white Dow 795 to bed and seal a new stainless steel stemhead. - Paul E. 1981 C&C Landfall 38 S/V Johanna Rose Fort Walton Beach, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/ > On Jul 29, 2019, at 11:00 AM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > > Message: 6 > Date: Sun, 28 Jul 2019 23:56:45 -0300 > From: "Dr. Mark Bodnar" <drbod...@bedfordchiro.ca > <mailto:drbod...@bedfordchiro.ca>> > To: robert via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> > Subject: Re: Stus-List Dow Corning 795 > Message-ID: <e48434cd-10db-e7bd-caca-be6679a08...@bedfordchiro.ca > <mailto:e48434cd-10db-e7bd-caca-be6679a08...@bedfordchiro.ca>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed > > > I was the one that used Pecora 895 to replace the plexi windows on my CS > 30.?
