Window repair

William Ryan All Messages By This Member #9350 Hi, I'm getting some water leakage through one of the windows on my '76 Tartan 27. I'm planning to re-seat it and assume I'll find a crusty old seal or gasket under the frame. Any advice for replacing this? Thanks Will

Tip: we found kerosene was the solvent that dissolved the (still liquid!) factory sealant.?

Caleb Davison All Messages By This Member #9352 And that goopy sealant that is (still liquid) is a form of Butyl - it never hardens. It makes a wonderful sealant for whatever window material you choose. toggle quoted message Show quoted text -----Original Message----- From: Marty Levenson martylev@...

Rick Gengarelly All Messages By This Member #9354 I have a 1965 T 27 hull #130 and there were no gaskets. I rebeded mine with butel tape. I unassembled the portal; outside aluminum extrusion, inside extrusion, barrel nuts and lense. I put the outside extrusion on my picnic table to work and filled the boatside of the aluminum with putty from the butel tape with the outside portion of the barrel nuts in place bedding around them. Hung the lenses in place with masking tape on the inside of the boat. Put the outside extrusion in place with the barrel nuts going through the holes around the opening. Put the inside extrusion on the inside with the other side of the barrel nuts meeting their counter parts on the outside and tightened them all going around a few times to make sure of evenness. I removed the tape leaving the unseen little bit under the inside extrusion. Two years; no leaks. If you use something like black G/E silicone from a tube which is fine if not better, leave a half turn on the barrel nuts to be tightened after cure for a good seal. You don't do that with the butel ( bad spelling I know ) tape because it doesn't cure. It stays soft. Hope this helped.

aksjghkajshd All Messages By This Member #9356 Used a 1/4" stone grinding wheel to clean the corrosion out of the inside of the aluminum =\| Can't find in my notes the size of the window glazing (rubber between the glass/plastic and aluminum frame). Old stuff has hard, brittle, and the channel full of algae. Bytul rubber. Being away has forced me to work on other projects. -s toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 0, "rick Gengarelly rickg1952@...

Monica All Messages By This Member #9358 I think the switch? on the 27-2 to windows that open was a huge improvement. I don't know if the holes are the same size.

Carl Damm All Messages By This Member #9359 The only thing I have to add is a light countersink in the holes will help the Butyl tape do its job.? The DYI info from compass covers everything very well.
