I have had a search online but read so much conflicting advice on this.

I am bedding in new Perspex panels into aluminium deck hatches using Sikaflex 295 uv which I have just purchased. The quandary is which primer do I need to use and are what cleaner should I wipe contact surfaces with prior to bonding?

The Sikaflex Users Guide and the Sikaflex Marine Handbook are both available on http://bluemoment.com/downloads.html

You should find the answers to your questions in one, if not both, of these publications

Thanks for that VicS.

I reckon I need:

Sufficient Sika 295uv
Sika 205 cleaner for hatch frames and Perspex
Sika 210t primer for hatch frames
Sika 209 primer for Perspex edges

I have had a look through the guides and would appreciate comments from anyone with knowledge or experience of this.
