Re: Stus-List VHB tape adhesion

I just finished this project using VHB tape, Corning 795, and black paint on the inside edge. The windows look much faster – worth at least a half a knot. I made a minor mistake in the length of a piece of tape being applied to the window cavity. Based on warnings that the tape never comes off

I cleaned the surface with denatured alcohol and it bonded fine. Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C&C 37+ East Greenwich, RI, USA ~~~_/)~~ On Fri, Jul 6, 2018 at 4:38 PM, Mark Baldridge via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > I'm having the fixed windows replaced on my C&C 37/4

Re: Stus-List VHB tape adhesion

Very timely posting as I'm shopping for VHB myself. I saw a Don Casey article that was recommending the following: 3m vhb 4991 1/2" Dow 795 silicone caulking http://www.sailmagazine.com/diy/maintenance/replacing-fixed-portlights/ Hi all, I have the new windows for my C&C 34/36 and am going t

Re: Stus-List VHB tape for fixed ports

Eric, Did this on the Enterprise about 4 years ago with VHB tape and everything is still wonderful. The best advice I can give is that you will have a lot of residue left over after you remove your old windows completely — preparation/cleaning will be everything. Make sure you have a good sur
