: This is the tradeoff, get the boat done and go paddling or make it
: as close to perfect as possible and spend a lot of time doing
: it.

: If you cut the hatch hole and butter up the edges with some
: thickened epoxy you can get hatches done in a day or so. If you
: want to seal every edge in the best way possible, it may take a
: week to get the hatches done given epoxy cure times and sanding
: and fill coats and more sanding and fixing bubbles and ...

So you're saying 'git 'er done' and paddle....

and when it wears out, make another one....
