[Public-list] Frames

[Dave Terrell]

I thought of using in an application and found that it is virtually impossible to adhere with any sealant or glue except Marine Tex Poly-Dura. The surface to be boned must be sanded and heat treated with a propane torch. It is $28.99 from defender, p 198 in the catalogue. After this description, I decided to my project another way.

Bill,
  I am curious.  Did you mfg your frames from layed up glass cloth and resin or router them from premade fibreglass?
   
  I wonder if routing frames from solid sheets of StarBoard would be strong enough?  This board I believe is made from polyethylene and might present an issue with using a sealant for the Lexan lights.  Anyone have thoughts about a caulk/sealant that could be used between the Starboard and the fibreglass coach sides and the Lexan lights?

  I had the problem with broken frames aqbout 20 years ago. My fix was to use one of the 
old frames to get the shape and size and with a piece of plywood and my router I made 
a mold . Then I made new frams of fiber glass about 1/4 Inch thick . With white 
gel coat they look just as good as the old frames.
