Where's butyl?
(There's a roll in my refrigerator.)
I guess butyl's more of a sealant than an adhesive.
Not sure about that terminology, though.

Nice job, Derek.
Let me add to your post.
When I installed new ports in a 26 footer (non C&C) couple weeks ago I had
similar thoughts and concerns.
I dry fiitted ports in place and held them with tape. I then traced the
outline of the inside of ports on the protective film and removed film fro
My head is ready to explode!☺
One of you guru / experts ought to write a book on very subject!

When I replaced my portlights this spring I had planned to follow Don Casey's
article but ended up not using the VHB.
I have had good experience with VHB on a residential installation of steel
panels as a surround for a gas fireplace. The VHB is bonding mild steel to
painted drywall in this ca

Fred.
Based on Don Casey's article, the 3M VHB tape is for adhesion and the
795 DOW Corning silicone sealant is just for sealing. No?

Based on the data, it sounds like VHB with LifeSeal would be a great
combination (four times stronger than with Dow 795). Has anyone tried that
yet? Or am I going to be the first guinea pig? :^)

LifeSeal is my "go to" sealant. Haven't used 4200 (polyurethane) or
silicone in months.

Remember that VHB tape is typically used on outdoor signs--it is not meant for
any structural purpose.
Flexibility is probably more important than strength for the adhesive..
Dow 795 is silicone.

From this, it sure looks like Plexus is the best structural option; 5200 would
be next, but it’s not compatible with acrylic. I’m surprised that LifeSeal
shows such good characteristics. VHB tape, 4200 and Sika are all in about the
same range. Looking at a cut sheet for Dow 795 (which you did
I did a bit of quick research on adhesives. My quick look and the
terminology may lead to inaccuracies. I am not a materials engineer. For
instance, shear strength numbers were either listed as shear strength or
lap shear strength, then there is dynamic vs static whatever. Please take
