Hi Andre, It is not done to drill /
tap any holes in a acrylic dome. Stressraiser! For shallow divers you
can glue . Under high pressures the dome
contracts more than the ring I use a o-ring on the
edge and stainless steel bands hold down the dome. Flange also possible for
shallow divers. In the handbook of acrylics are some examples. Emile Van:

[mailto:owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org] Namens André Eriksen Hi, I`m new to this forum, and are planning to build a 3 person sub. I can`t seem to find any plans or pictures on how to fit
the acrylic dome for the hatch. Is it screwed down on flanges with an
o-ring underneath, or liquid gasket/glue? I`ve seen some domes without flanges,
how do they attach them? thank you. -Andrè Eriksen, Norway |
