: Why would you even install the rings before you varnish/paint? I
: consider the installing the hatch rings part of the final
: outfitting. Do the varnishing first.
: Dan

I suspect the idea was to varnish after the kayak's been used alot and then needs re-varnishing.

I wouldn't even give a thought to removing them for that.

Personally I'd use 3M's 4200. You want a flexible sealant that is possible to remove.
