In Response To: Strip: hatches warping (chris)

I had the hatches warp on my kayak after recovering it from theft in pretty bad shape. I steamed them back to shape (or very close) and then went to a good old nylon webbing hatch hold-down. I like it much better. Stays dry and keeps the hatches from warping.
