Strip: Harch gaskets

Hello All,
I was up paddling this last week on Rainy Lake on the Canadian border and in the rough stuff my hatches on my Outer Island were leaking still after making an absolutely stiff hatch locking bar per Jays build instructions. On closer inspection I noticed my gasket material was acting more like a sponge. Its just weather strip but its is not closed cell foam like the package said. I was wondering what you builders out there with water tight hatches use.
