Hi,

I remember there was a discussion a while back about getting a good seal on a ches. 17 hatch. The foam weather stripping that is recommended, does that stuff usually have a plastic backing on it? I picked some up at the local home hardware and this stuff is backed with plastic. Also, is mono exterior clear caulk okay to use on a kayak. I want to make a ridge around the hatch on the deck that will press into the weatherstripping, as someone suggested the last time this issue was brought up.

Anyway, Your ideas are appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul.
