No short term memory anymore, but I believe my hatches were 8 inch Becket's made out of ABS/Polycarbonate which you had to use silicone when installing. I used black silicone. If I remember right, other glues and epoxies wouldn't stick to it. I would glass the wood surface first then cut the hole and install the hatch.
