I am building a S&G sea kayak like a Chesapeake to my own plan. I am up to the stage of building the hatches. Can any one tell me a simple but fairly effective way to build them so that they do not leak. I am more concerned about the time that it will take and not that it looks beautiful.
Thanks, Brian White.

Right theory, but lower your components 1/2 inch
