Thinking about replacing some of the fixed windows in my Hunter 23.5. Mainly the front curved one. Maybe others.
I am guessing this has been covered before, so mainly asking for someone to direct me to a previous thread that resulted in the successful completion of this project on a similar boat…or new tips/ techniques/products out there?
My main questions:
-Which sealant? (I am thinking Dow 795?) Or use 3M VHB and just 795 to fill the final gap?
-On the front window there are small black set screws. No problem. But on the sides….how to hold the slightly curved windows in place while the 795 dries? ….and how long does it take to dry? Will VHB tape hold the curve into the window, or pull out?
Thank you.
