Agreed — I used a very sharp chisel to carefully get all of the old Plexus off, then sanded and filled with 3M Marine Filler and sanded some more. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- Bayfield, WI (JUST LAUNCHED YESTERDAY!!!) > On May 16, 2017, at 12:06 PM, D

Re: Stus-List Plexus Removal During Fixed Port Replacement

I too would suggest removing all of the original Plexus. That’s what I did prior to painting the decks. It cannot be described as either easy or fun but given the time and money you may be spending, it would be best to get it right from the git-go. Best, Dave Godwin 1982 C&C 37 - Ronin Reedvill

I used to be a marine repair "pro". Couple years ago I did a port replacement on a boat that had ports mounted similarly to C&C's. The first thing I did was to remove ALL the old sealant and properly prep the adhering surface. IMHO, and from years of marine repair, proper preparation is 80-90% o

Re: Stus-List Plexus Removal During Fixed Port Replacement

I considered the same thing - if the plexus is well adhered then why not just leave it there? But some of the plexus was not well adhered - some came off fairly easily with just hand pressure on a chisel.  I decided I didn't want to finish the job to disco

Re: Stus-List Plexus Question

Plexiglas is just a brand name for acrylic plastic, which is most commonly sold in sheets. The thinner sheets of plexi are usually made by an extrusion process. Thicker varieties are made by casting. Casting makes a stronger, more optically clear and undistorted product. It is important to make
