Dave:
I am no VHB expert.....have never used the stuff. I understand there
are many different versions, at least that what I get from the website
below.

Point being, make sure you get the right tape for the job you intend to
use it.

More response to this thread; I’ve been working on the fixed ports on
my boat over the last few days and and paying close attention. After
absorbing a good bit of the info in the thread and the links provided,
I’m planning on moving away from using Plexus ("if it was good enough
for my grandfather it’s good enough for me!”) and using the 3M tape.
Seems the more modern ticket to me.
I’m anticipating the operation to be a good bit easy than using
Plexus, certainly if it is just one person doing the job.
Cheers,

Was afraid of that. The only ports close to the new C&C ports I've
done were on a Beneteau. Don't remember how hard the adhesive was.

Hi Dennis,
I'm quite sure those blades would work well for soft calk
like silicones or urethanes, but Plexus is hard as a rock and I
don't think they would work. In addition, the big problem is
getting at the bottom window joint that is very close to the turn
on the deck.

Not quite the same thing but lately I've been removing ports
that were held in with sealant by using a vibrating saw with
a caulk cutting blade. Like these:

Not sure how they would work on Plexus or Sika adhesives.
