I finally got around to removing my starboard side fixed port panel to re seal to overcome a small but persistent leak.Getting the panel out was easier than expected. I found the factory had used a combination of a butyl barrier and then the Dow 795 as the bond and seal.Chased around for ages looking for butyl tape but was repeatedly told they now use UV stabilised foam double sided tape, so ordered that.
I guess I simply wanted to ask of those who have done this job, do you have any advice on mistakes to avoid, or tips on getting the best result please. My biggest question is how much 795 / what size bead to lay down??
Cheers!
