Strip: Magnets in the Hatch lip

Hi guys,

I'm going to buy some magnets from lee valley today. These will be used to hold down the hatchs.

How do get these into the hatch lip?

I'm building the flush hatches. I assume when I'm building the fiber glass lip, I put one layer of figerglass (6oz). place the magnets on this, fillet in place, and then cover this with serveral more layers of fiberglass.

Is it that simple?

Thanks inadvance,

Myrl
