I have no idea what hardness neoprene one would use ... and best adhesive to fix it in place. Atkins & Hoyle website says 'high density, soft durometer'
I suppose one of us should get off their duffs and call A&H or Hammerhead. On another note, I notice that the Sika 295UV instructions call for 'Sika UV Shielding Tape' overlapping the edge of the window and the adhesive joint itself, onto the cabinside? Has anyone actually seen that or used it themselves? I couldn't find any reference to availability in North America either ... even absent from Sika's Canadian website. I also don't see reference on many of the 'how-to' sites to abrading the edges of the acrylic sheet and the fiberglass frame area prior to install. More discuss use of primer ... but not all state what they are using. -------- Original message -------- From: David Paine <paineda...@gmail.com> Date: 02-24-2015 12:47 PM (GMT-08:00) To: Peter Fell <prf...@gmail.com>,cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Forward hatches on the 1981 C&C30 MK1 Great points, I'm in the middle of doing the same refab job: My questions are: (1) 0.5 " diameter circular cross-section neoprene gasket (for the hatch seal onto frame) but what harness neoprene? (2) Does anyone know where to get a replacement aluminum hatch handle (the round one that allows the hatch to be opened from the outside)? I killed one of the two when I removed it to allow the lens to be removed. The price from AH was too much for me (I'd be better off machining one myself) Thanks for any hints!

As pointed out the gasket material could be obtained from numerous sources. 2) The acrylic is bedded in in the frame with compound? ... Sikaflex 295 UV? 3) The frame is bonded to the deck with butyl and screws. 4) New cast acrylic could be obtained from multiple sources using the old one as a template. So with regards to replacing the acrylic, a lot of the discussion that just took place here regarding window replacement also is applicable to hatches. In my case (C&C 27 MkIII) the PO had screws installed at the 4 corners of the hatch acrylic into the cast lid – I don’t think those are original ... It appears to be where mine is now leaking from (of course!) Also the windows were re-bedded (probably acrylic replaced) with screws included every 6-inches or so ... that’s (of course) where the windows are now leaking from (in fact the screws have damaged the cabin side fiberglass around the window opening and I can even pull a couple screws right out of the cabin side .... completely stripped!)

I will be committed to replacing the gasket or the complete window at that point. I will look for a name or number on the unit this afternoon. Hoe is the frame bolted? I don't see any access to the underside of the window? Is it bolted into wood with woof screws from the top side using only butle tape?
