: Thanks. How much overlap do you leave with the deck? (I mean as a
: gluing surface.) The notes say 1 1/2" or thereabouts, which
: does seem like a lot of gluing surface, I was wondering if more
: like 1/2 - 3/4" would be sufficient.

: Cheers, Ian

I suppose that 3/4" would work, it'll be difficult to locate after it's made though. I'd put a couple center marks from the hatch to the underside of the deck so it'll be easier to re-locate it after it's molded and removed.
