I think I bought my roll at a supermarket. The contact paper will cover the area in one sheet (for all but the very large hatches) and releases easily from epoxy. I only wish the sticky side was stickier. You can get puckers in the hatch lip because the plastic can lift up too easily. 3M clear packing tape is a little stickier and is an even better release surface, but you have to apply overlapping strips.
