PDQ OWNERS FORUM

With the passing of the tropical storm Debby, we have identified our forward lexan pieces (3 ) need to be rebedded. I have read the treads on the forum and see two options.

1. BUTYL tape - this looks like a clean and simple method, but I question the adhesion. 1/8 inch X 2 inch X 30 foot rolls are cheap. http://search.mobilehomepartsstore.com/ ... mit=Search
2. Sikaflex caulk - This was a product used in production, messy and requires cleaner and primer.http://us01.webdms.sika.com/fileshow.do?documentID=1288

I do not know where to purchase Sikaflex.

Anyone with current expierience or recommendations?

I have used the butyl tape on a previous boat. Yuo can purchase it in various widths (1",1/2", etc.). Google RV websites and order it online. I used it for Lexan hatches, and thought it worked great. Less messy also.

Brian,
I used Jamestown Distributors

I just completed replacing all my windows and used the Sika 295UV. I bought a case for half the going price at www.goodboatgear.com. I used the primer and all went easily. It is potentially messy but tape the area and use mineral spirits for cleanup. If you de3cide to go this route I have 8(?) tubes left that I'll sell at cost. I also have left over primers.
