Gaskets on Ports

[nigellongland]

Can someone suggest what type of glue to use to seat the neoprene gasket on my Bomar port? thanks nigel longland

I'm not sure on your Bomar port but the gaskets on my ABI ports are just friction fit.
No sealant or glue.

I think the best thing for that is 3M Weather Strip Adhesive. It comes in a tube and looks like contact cement.

Welcome to the forum Nigel.
Most of mine are just friction fit but a couple needed glue...I used rubber cement.

I've had good luck over the years using plain old contact cement.

I cleaned out the groove with a small rotery wire brush on a cordless drill. The gasket material I bought came with an adheasive strip but I used black 3M weather strip adhesive also. A bit of a messy job but if it make the hatch over my berth stop leaking... then it is SO WORTH IT!
