Subject: [Passport] Side portlights/hatches.. again
Thanks!

I've discovered that 3M makes a couple of
products for this purpose: 3M™ Scotch-Weld™
Sealer 5300 (a liquid sealant in tubes) and 3M™
Scotch-Weld™ Sealant Strip 5313 (a tape). Either
looks feasible to use for rebedding portlight
lenses (but neither seems appropriate for use as portlight gaskets).
Chris, I'm glad you opened this subject, as I've
just started to look more seriously for
replacement material for my porthole gaskets (my
portholes look very much like yours, the only
obvious difference being the closing mechanisms).
Hope this helps,
Jim

John, you used the word "butel" and then put a question mark after it,
suggesting that you're not positive of the spelling. Could you perhaps mean
"butyl"?
I've discovered that 3M makes a couple of products for this purpose: 3MT
Scotch-WeldT Sealer 5300 (a liquid sealant in tubes) and 3MT Scotch-WeldT
While I know it is not a marine site nor specific to hatches, you may want to troll around www.mcmaster.com
You may find something suitable since they have almost every product under the sun. for example, I found half inch, 6 inch long SS bolts here for my anchor windlass as well as very good rubber gaskets that work perfectly for fridge doors and hatches http://www.mcmaster.com/#rubber-bulb-seals/=btg1x8

Chris, I got some rectangular shaped EPDM from Wefco. It fits well in the slot for the gasket for the portlights, but it is too hard and is not sealing well. I'm thinking about getting some gasket material from Select Plastics - www.selectplastics.com . They sell a round EPDM material in a couple sizes, specifically intended for portlight gaskets. I would think the round stuff would just squish into those slots just fine, and if it's soft enough it should seal well. I too am anxious to find something that will seal those portlights well. I think I looked at Fawcett's and they didn't have anything, but they have gone through some changes in the last few years. Let me know what you end up using!
