: Well, I have waited patiently for someone to ask this question but
: I guess I am going to have to. I have read a lot of posts
: concerning hatch seals and I am not understanding them. I have
: read and reread Mr. Schades books and I am either missing it or
: he isn't covering foam seal installation.

: I don't really need a long detailed discussion here as I may be the
: only person on the planet that isn't understanding this. What I
: would really appreciate is some direction towards builders web
: sites that cover this in photo's and descriptions. That should
: educate me enough that I could ask intelligent questions.
: Thank you very much:)

Kurts site is always a helpful one and this page on his site is just what you are looking for, only thing missing is the size of the first and final gaskets. Also on this page kurt makes a reference to one ocean kayak page you should definetly check out the wealth of info in the building pages on that site.
