Have a look at Sika's product called Sikaflex 295uv.
http://www.sikaindustry.com/tds-ipd-...ex295uv-us.pdf You will probably need to use the primer with it on sandblasted steel. I would give them a call and talk to the tech services group. They will know for sure what to use. Dan MarshallE wrote: Take a look at a 2 part polyurethane that comes in a small dual tube with plunger. When you press the plunger the two parts mix and dispense very easily. We use this to bond polycarbonate to polycarbonate and have had great success. Stay clear of any glues that are generating a chemical bond to the P/C. Any glue that "attacks" the P/C will cause stress cracking at a later date. (or at least this is what we found.....) Check GE's site...good idea...and check 3M's site and others for the glue. Call and ask detailed questions.... Good luck, Marshall PS...make sure that the window material is not just polycarbonate but that it is UV stabilized and explain that you will use it for a window application. Though acrylic is more fragile it will/should hold up better than P/C as far as sunlight. Most outdoor signage is made from Acrylic due to better UV properties. There are some window materials that have thin layers of other plastics to help with minimizing scratches. "Leonard" wrote in message oups.com... Does anyone have any advice on what Adhesive/Sealant to use to attach a Lexan window to a steel hull boat? I tried using 3M Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200. It did not bond with the Lexan. Any thoughts or recommendations? |
