Comments about Sika Sikaflex 295UV:
I agree with the others as to the messiness of the product...especially if you aren't careful with it, or fail to tape and mask your work areas. Other than that...It does the job extremely well, and it was easy to use. I have re-bedded the windows on our trawler and they turned out great. I like the fact that after 6 months in the Florida sun much of it summer and full exposure to the sun...there has been zero fade, bleeding of color, peeling, or separation. I am very pleased with this product and the way it turned out!!

Comments about Sika Sikaflex 295UV:
Watch the video and look carefully at the plastic tip before cutting so you understand the upside down V. Try on a test board first. Its not difficult but merits some practice. The actual installation went smoothly. Ended up with clean lines and water tight seal. I used four screws in corners rather than the ten I'd taken out on my Catalina.

Comments about Sika Sikaflex 295UV:
I replaced my screwed in acrylic windows with Makrolon (Lexan with abrasion resistant coating) and used the Sikaflex 226 cleaner, 209 primer and 295 UV adhesive and the results were unbelievable! I did not have to use the screws again making it an even cleaner install. Only advice I can give is tape it off well so when you remove the tape and paper your left with a nice trim line around the windows. This product works very well!!

Comments about Sika Sikaflex 295UV:
Installed 16 acrylic windows in my homebuilt boat with this stuff, following instructions for sanding edge of acrylic, and priming. Tools easily into a smooth bead. Most of the work is in the prep for this use. Boat has been in the weather for 5 years now without any problems with window seal or adhesion.

Comments about Sika Sikaflex 295UV:
I don't agree that Sikaflex has a good website.
Had to switch between two areas to get the istallation picture. A comprehensive sheet would be nice. Messy, you should mask off adjacent areas
with newspaper or plastic and have a good supply of wiping rags or paper for the "tooling" finger.
Make sure you have thin gloves that are not going to fall apart (mine) for your tooling. This can replace screws.

Comments about Sika Sikaflex 295UV:
I used this product along with Sika Cleaner 226 and Sika Primer 209 to bond four acrylic/plexiglass windows. The results look very solid. It is messy, so don't skimp on the masking tape. Here's a link to the instructions that I used: [@]. You'll want to print these as the directions on this three step process are not detailed on any of the containers.

Comments about Sika Sikaflex 295UV:
Used 295 uv along with the cleaner and primer to bond polycarbonate windows in my 26 ft boat. Worked like a charm but its messy so mask off the areas you don't want this stuff to stick to. Sika has a great web site with directions. Follow them and you will get great results.
