    My transom port lights have only 1/8" thick plexiglass panels that are flush with the frame. My glass guy says he can't get safety glass that thin. How did you overcome that problem?

    My prior owner sand blasted the windows for privacy. I need to replace them , glad to hear about the Lexan windows from Sam’s . But Sky’s solution sounds better.

    Re: Polishing aft windows in a 53 my

    I have a friend that works at tap plastic. I took the windows out and took them to his shop. Total cost $45 for two windows. I re-bed them in either Sicaflex 219 or 291, their fast set then and installed. What a difference it makes. It is so bright in the aft stateroom I had black out plastic covers made for the inside. The black outs just sit on the wing nuts. I thought I had photos but I must have deleted them. FYI the perfect corner radius is 2”.

    I don't know the answer to that. Maybe the glass is thicker than 1/8", but I don't know that for sure. I just took the pins out and left the portlights with the glass shop then picked them up when they had the new glass installed.
