Hello TF community,
I plan to replace my two portlight and was thinking to make them myself.
I would like to have the interior ring in wood while in FB for the exterior (fixed portlight).
My plan would be to make the interior in plain mahogany and the exterior using plywood covered with epoxy and FB woven fabric and painted the same white as my boat.
The glass would be tinted lexan or plexi.
The glass would be set in a rabbet and in sandwich between the 2 rings and of course with some caukling like sika or butyl tape or whatever.
Does anybody has any experience to share about doing this? Any advice?
Tried to search the forum butn found not much.
Thank you!
Lou
