"General Electric" has determined that polysulphite!
contains a solvent that could eventually cause cracks!
in the Lexan.!
GLUEING
You should avoid bolting through the polycarbonate.!
It should be glued and sealed with silicone, or held in!
place by a frame on the outside of either aluminium, copper!
or stainless steel which can be bolted through the!
structure and not through the polycarbonate.!
WAX
Before you use silicone or any of the sealant, be!
sure to wash the surface of the gelcoat with acetone to!
remove any trace of wax and sand well to remove the glossy!
surface, otherwise nothing will adhere to the surface.!
MASKING TAPE
Before applying silicone or glue for any purpose, it!
is recommended that you cover the area around your work!
with masking tape and remove it before the silicone or!
other material has hardened. You will save yourself a lot!
of cleaning up and it will be aesthetically more pleasing.!
COLOUR
The hull ports can be tinted a fairly dark colour but!
the ones in the cabin should be as light as possible. We!
recommend a light grey which will cut some of the sun's!
rays and still leave you good visibility at night from the!
pilothouse.!
