In Response To: Other: Building Waterproof Hatches. (Brian White)

: 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.

I just ordered some weather stipping from J.C. Whitney that looks a little better than the normal harware store type. Haven't tried it yet but thought I would investigate. Maybe someone has already tried?
