: Hey Neighbor!

: That would work pretty well.

: You could also dry-fit it, and use some CA (cyanoacrylate
: "superglue") between the strips before removing them. Then epoxy
: and glass.

Others have had good success using hot melt glue hold the strips together. Note that it wont be as strong, but the fiberglass should add more than enough strength to the hatch covers.
