Singtock tubing, glue is acceptable, of course...A prime positive characteristic is ease of reglueing tubing to hull when tubing tears loose, in short sections. Tubing is always coming off the %^F%XX@ hull.
The hatchs leak under water, not much but with the tear off we seek an improvement. There are batteries in Pelican boxes for hydrophone/recorder and Att cementwood bilge pump.
So a tube of 3M rubber gasket glue is incoming to back up the excellent Weldwood contact The procedure is wet hull and hatch cover with
Weldwood, roughly position gasket then apply cover allowing cover/hull positioning of tubing.
I'm trying positioning with Weldwood then spotting with 3M to secure.
Along the way we consider advanced tech tubing but what n where ? UV resistance is prob not essential as we can cover. Non UV tubing is prob more hi tech than UV-. You know, when you look at the Solstice tubing you figure there has to be an advanced, and more expensive...for CD not the consumer...gasket.
Remember you're first meeting with the neoprene type water pump gaskets ?
Yup, and new strapping/Drings/tribuckles are in also. Off to the Charlottes !
