Another solid candidate for gluing to acrylic or lexan directly to another
plastic is Plexus 300/350. About $30 with manual mixing applicator and it is
recommended by Lewmar.
My Lewmar #20 ports have inside handles only and these are glued on with this.
I never believed it would hold when the hatches are in the 'closed tight'
position with maximum force trying to separate the handle from the acrylic. To
my surprise and amazement it has held without issues for years, until a crew
steps on it, etc. but then it just gets glued back and lasts again.
Would not want to get my fingers stuck together with it for sure!!

remember that beingdiscussed, and was looking for that a year or so ago, but I
was looking for HighTemp Silicone black for some reason. I think I will do
another tensile test with the Krylon and thePurple People Eater Primer. The
nice thing about the black Krylon, if it bonds well enough,is that it protects
the adhesive beneath it from UV. And to the other comment about cheaping
out, I agree totally, havingdone window three years in a row with bad results.
It is not worth it with allthe work involved. I would test it first. And If you
are looking for a really premium adhesive for plasticand urethane, I can highly
recommend Lord Epoxy Adhesive, 320/322. I believe itis a descendent of Chemloc.
I can attest to its tenacity with Urethane, althoI haven’t used it with
Plastic yet. Only problem is finding it. Bill Coleman From:

this was solved years ago! Get theKrylon black plastic paint - $4 or 5 bucks
for the spray can and do a couplepasses around the window. You really
should go to a C&C RDV, especially the onesin BC, where the tech talks have
covered this, years ago - Thanks Jim!

sticks to acrylic or Lexan.That was one of the irritating things about using
the 295uv was that you had topay around 40 bucks for a can of primer that you
only used a teaspoon of. I was just wondering the other day, if that purple
primer theysell to prime PVC piping before gluing would achieve the same result
– Iwouldn’t be surprised, and for only a few bucks. I tried gluing a couple
pieces of Lexan together with 795 acouple years ago, just to see how it stuck,
and it didn’t take much to pullapart. I should try that again with the purple

Hi Joe, I just replaced the plexiglass on 2 of my hatches. I dug outmost of the
sealant around the lens, then took a windshield removal tool to cutthe bond
between the frame and lens. I used a wire wheel to clean up theremainder of
sealant. Wiped the frame with lacquer thinner, put a small bevelon both the top
and bottom of the new plexiglass. taped off where I didn't wantsealant. Laid a
bead of Sika Flex 295uv, positioned lens into frame and pusheddown with just
enough force to make the lens leves with the frame. I thenfilled the gap
between the frame and plexiglass. You will want to make sure youget as many of
the voids as possible.

I have been asking aboutsending my hatches in for refurbishment and it isn't
cheap. Am I overthinkingit? I only need two things, one is putting a new gasket
in and the other is anew piece of Plexiglas. I can buy the gasket and the glue
and the local shopcan duplicate the glass easy enough. Thankfully I don't have
the kind of hatchthat opens from the outside, so there are no knob or O rings
to leak.
Question - how do you get the hatch off? The pins don't look designed to
beremoved easily. Do you cut them and then get new ones?
