: Curious if anyone has ever used cork-rubber gasket material for
: hatch seals?
: You can get sheets/rolls of the stuff at most any auto part store
: in varying thicknesses and sizes. Used for things like valve
: cover or oil pan gaskets.

: I know people like to use the closed cell weather stripping for
: this purpose..
: I didn't mold in a channel like I should have when building the
: lip. I guess I didn't thoroughly do my homework on that one :(
: I'm having a fair bit of trouble making the curve around the
: corners of my hatch cutouts smoothly with that stuff and it
: doesn't stick very well...
: Was thinking maybe a cork-rubber sheet that I could cut out a
: continuous ring to fit the hatch lip might be a thought?

Don't rely on the factory adhesive on the weatherstripping. Use contact cement. That will hold it.
