: Can one use laminating epoxy (thickened) to glue a Kajak Sport
: hatch ring (ABS plastic) onto a stripper's deck?

Yes, you can, but it would make it very difficult to replace.

: If not, what would be the stuff to use - it should bond to both ABS
: and epoxy?

I would use 3M 5200 (fast cure formula) instead of epoxy. When the time comes to replace the hatch rim, it's much easier to cut a flexible sealant.
