Marine windows

[Guest]

My windows are cracked & crazed. They are bedded on neoprene and screwed to the fiberglass.
Should I use perspex or acrylic and is there a source for the bedding anyone knows of. I intend to through bolt them this time.

Perspex it better to use as it is stronger, but harder to bend.
Sikaflex is the best to bed the windows on, but only if it is used properly. Alot of people don't use the primer. Also if you choose to use sikaflex, when you start to bolt in the new windows DON'T tighten it fully. Just tighten untill it comes out at the edge, then wait 24hours and then fully tighten the bolts. Doing this lets the sikaflex to go off and froms a gasget so when you tighten it, it's like the neoprene was but better
