Strip: Next hatch question

I have my hatches cut out to my satisfaction. I plan on using the CLC invisable hatch system with my flush hatches. I want to follow Nick's instructions for making the hatch seat. He adds a 1" tape to the underside of the hatch cover, and 6 layers of 3" 6oz. tape centered on the seam. After this cures, it is sanded down to a 1" seat for the hatch cover. My concern is, if I am installing a 3/4" x 7/16" gasket included in the CLC kit, will the hatch still seat flush. or do I have to put a couple layers on the inside of the deck that do not extend into the opening to accomodate the gasket? Hope this makes sense.
Thanks for the help. Makin' headway.
Jack
