What this video covers

Edgar and Sâmia install polycarbonate windows on their boat using a screwless mounting method to avoid drilling holes in the hull.4:39 The installation process relies on 3M high-bond tape for initial positioning and Dow Corning 995 structural silicone sealant for permanent adhesion.4:55 Edgar applies the sealant between strips of tape to ensure a consistent thickness and a watertight seal, noting that the 995 product is typically used for structural glazing on high-rise buildings.6:06 The project includes three forward-facing polycarbonate panels and side windows, which the crew designed to provide a modern aesthetic.10:54 By sealing the cabin, the team prevents rainwater from damaging the interior woodwork and flooring during the ongoing refit.6:51 The crew plans to monitor the long-term durability of this adhesive-only mounting technique, as it is an unconventional approach for marine applications in Brazil.6:41
