: Here's some pictures of my modified Great Auk. My procedure was: 1 cut out
: the hatch, 2 tape the hatch back in place with packing tape 3 cover the
: inside of the deck with self sticking clear shelf paper 4 lay the foam
: gasket spacer in place using double sided tape 5 wax it all down with a
: mold release 6 lay up 5 to 6 layers of glass ( I used 6 oz) over the
: spacer 7 put a thin layer of plastic sheet over that 8 pile sand on top to
: hold the glass and epoxy down 9 remove sand and flange 10 shape flange as
: needed 11 remove gasket spacer 12 remove gasket cover 13 epoxy in place 14
: add gasket material.
: note that the spacer should be about 1/8 inch shorter than the height of the
: gasket.
: picture below is what it looks like just prior to laying on the glass.

: When I did this (January 2006) I followed instructions from someone else.
: Sorry, but I can't find that link now.. This method was found on KBBB,
: thanks to whoever it was!!

: Good luck!
