Hello All, I am looking for some advice on fitting new window glass to my Holman 26'. The cabin sides are teak with a 6/7mm deep rebate on the inside face for the glazing (4mm toughend glass) . Teak trim pieces and plenty of woodscrews hold the glass in place. The seal appears to have been white lead putty, but this has deteriorated with age resulting in wet bunk cushions etc. I am wondering whether anyone has experience with the modern sealants such as sikaflex, arbomast etc. From the tech literature I have seen, there appears to be no single product that fulfils all the requirements i.e. sticks effectively to glass, teak, is resistant to UV light, able to form a good seal in such a small gap etc. Perhaps its best after all to use the traditional stuff, but any suggestions would be most welcome.
