Acrylic on Foredeck Cracked

Thanks for the reply. That looks a tad out of place but my shipwright says hes done it a few times and its the best and most reliable solution.

Alan and Anne, That looks mint! Thats what i'd like, what a great result.

That looks great.  I just received the new piece of Acrylic yesterday.  Shipped from NZ to Fiji only took a month.  Sadly I'm heading to the US today and will not be replacing it until sometime in February.  I wish there was someone here that is good with teak.  Oh well.

Issywa.  Mine was extremely difficult to remove required breaking it in many pieces.  So I got back early and started the project.  I saw some areas under the acrylic were like a damp sponge and the sika came off easily.  Other portions were stuck fast and required a hammer and putty knife to get under and then break away.  It was the area towards the bow that was the easiest and had water between the acrylic and cabintop.  I ended up using 1 panel of the same size as original but is 6mm thick.  I believe the original is 4mm.   I used Sika 295UV which is supposed to be more UV stable.  I also removed the front hatch and like others the powder coating was stuck to the sealant and not the frame.  It's all back together now too.  I need to clean rhe boat but the Pic shows the new panel in place.  And yes there is some moisture under it arrrrrgh it was hot and sweaty here in Fiji yesterday.  

I bought Dark Grey Tinted Acrylic.  6mm, 825mm x 585mm  I got it from Cambrian Plastics in New Zealand.  I am sure that you can find a vendor closer to you.  The dark grey tint seems to match the old piece well.  The 6 mm may be a bit much but the sika has a bevel from the teak to the acrylic.
