Mebbe, mebbe not. 4200 is designed to be "removeable" but..... (pic)
In Response To: With 4200 you'd never the hatch out again without damaging the frame ()
Larry, how often do you remove your hatches? Is this part of the annual layup? I confess I've had boats for several years and not once felt the need to remove the frame from deck.

- Replacing Hatches ...
- 101 will work, but butyl rubber is better for hatches and other deck fittings that might need later replacement
- 101 is the standard sealant for deck hardware
- LifeCaulk
- But don't use 101 to attempt to seal plastic or something like a hatch lens.
- for that I'd use GE Ultraglaze 5000 (pic)
- Bomar recommends GE Ultraglaze 4000
- I thought Ultraglaze was for bonding acyrlic to the hatch frame, not the frame to the deck ? (nm)
- Actually, my recommendation of Dow 795 is for glazing. I'd use 4200 for setting the hatch. (pic)

- Butyl Rubber
- All this talk got me to thinking. Why do so many like 5200?
