[Public-list] window replacement sealant

[Mike Lehman]

Roger,

I don't usually use silicon on the boat for many projects, but this IS the 
stuff to use for window replacement. GE clear 35 year stuff is the best. Let 
it dry, and cut it away from the outside of the frames, it peels right off, 
no taping needed.

I just read the great piece on window replacement on the A30 web site 
(thanks for posting it George) and have a couple of questions.  The author 
uses silicone but said some prefer 5200.  Others suggested butyl rubber but 
Don Campbell indicated it degrades Lean.  Any thoughts on what sealant is 
best?  Has anyone heard of sealant that comes in a tape that can be placed 
on the frames and pressed out once the bolts are tightened?

A slick technique to avoid getting sealant on the new Plexiglas is described 
but there is no mention of keeping goop off the inside and outside of the 
cabin.  I assume it is desirable to tape off these areas but also wonder if 
there are good sealants that can be easily removed with a solvent that 
doesn't damage paint?  I can't even pour a cup of coffee without spilling 
and anticipate substantial clean up will be necessary if I am doing the job.

Thanks,

Roger
