: Hi All,

: I made the lip for my stern hatch yesterday and it came out ok. I followed
: Nick's book and just laid up the glass on the deck/hatch without adding
: anything to lower the lip. However, tonight I took a small piece of my
: gasket material(1/8 by 3/8 neo weatherstrip) and put it under the hatch.

: Major flaw: the hatch sits way too proud of the deck even with me pressing on
: the hatch.

: I can only think of thinning the hatch edge a bit or making a groove to make
: some extra space, or I could grind it off and try again.

: Anyone have other ideas as to alternatives or corrections I can try.

: TIA

: Andrew

Hi Andrew

You might try a heat gun carefully on the lip to bend it down a bit . Mine were a bit proud and I used a heat lamp with some sucess but now a heat gun would be better.

P.S. Time in the sun paddling will also tend to set them down.
