    Michael,

    If your boat is moored in the Seattle area, I'd be happy to stop by and give you a quick lesson on portlight rebedding.  I'm scheduled to be in Seattle Thursday morning for some meetings and I have the afternoon open.

    Kevin,

    That's a very kind thing to do. I really need some advice and I would return the kindness and offer to pay your gas, or beer, or dinner or all of the above. 
     
    Problem is I am in Olympia but like I said I'd pay gas. If you can't make it then I still consider your offer a very kind thing. 

    Thanks.

    Michael,

    Unfortunately I have to be home by 4pm on Thursday, so driving to Olympia and back is not in the cards for Thursday.  But, I might be able to get to Olympia next Tuesday afternoon if you are available.

    3M makes a release for the stuff  = devils glue release

      rumor has it that glycol (anti freeze) chews 5200 up +/-  I don't know personally, but in the rumor mill they say it is so.




    I tried that stuff... 'Debond' I think it's called.  Pretty expensive and it didn't work worth a damn.

    At least for me.  While trying it I was perplexed at just how the liquid could 'wick' between the surfaces to release the bond.

    I am getting an order ready for Bud but need to know if I measure the port windows from center to center on the inside piece that opens into the cabin? 

    I think I have six 9" ports and four 7.5" ports. Also I think my gasket is .25" thick and looks square (white color) does this sound right? If I could only post photos :(

    Michael,

    The portlights are referred to as 4", 6" and 8". I know how much gasket material is needed for each size port.  The white gasket is no longer used,, as it does not last as long as the black gasket.  I have plenty of it in stock.
