I think you are talking about the Ursa 420 kayak by redfish kayaks:

http://www.redfishkayak.com/livingston.htm (scroll down a bit to the hatches)

But he used silicon drawer liners as an epoxy release film, and a conventional gasket.

I am not sure if there is a material to which silicon doesn't stick - I would be very interested if there is.
