In Response To: Hatch Lip seal channel (Ken Sutherland)

I put some paste wax on the sacrificial weatherstrip, but I still didn't get a clean release. I used a screwdriver to remove as much as possible and called it done.

Ross

: I've made my hatch lips using the One Ocean Kayak method that looked so easy
: on Ross and Spidey's websites, the process seems to be going well. I used
: 1/8 X 3/8 neoprene gasket as a mold for the channel and will use 1/4 X 3/8
: or 3/8 X 3/8 neoprene for my seal. The question that I have is, how do I
: get all the foam bits out of the channel in the lip? I've scraped most of
: the foam out but have a layer stuck to the epoxy. Should I have used a
: release agent of some sort, do I just need to use more elbow grease, or is
: there an easy way to remove the residual foam?

: Thanks,

: Ken
