In Response To: WHY NOT SILICONE CORKING (STEVE POLLACK)

: I'V MADE A NUMBER OF FLUSH HATCHES USING SILICONE CORKING. SQUEEZE CORKING
: ONTO HATCH LIP, COVER HATCH WITH PLASTIC WRAP AND TAPE HATCH BACK INTO THE
: BOAT.AFTER A FEW DAYS, WHEN THE SILICONE HAS CURED, REMOVE THE HATCH AND
: PRESTO,A PERFECTLY FORMED HATCH SEAL.
