: Charles, I built a flat lip for my Night Heron, and had a tough time finding
: the thin weather stripping material, I had to cut the 3/8 foam strip in
: half, but still my hatches are not flush to the deck, I also bought some
: liquid electric tape which I’m going to try next. You should go for the
: built-in channel. Where do you get this 1/8” neoprene?

: Lee

Hey Lee,

You can buy neoprene of various thicknesses from J.R. Sweet at the link below. I was hoping for something from the local building supplies maybe close to neoprene. Judging from the responses, I think I'll check out HD and Lowes before I lay up the lip. I wish you success with YOUR hatches.

Happy Building.

Charles.
