: As far as the counter seal goes, I used 2 strips of the weather
: seal (shown below) laid in side by side. After that I I laid a
: piece of kitchen "Saran" wrap over the gasket material
: and put a bead of silicon on top of the wrap, right over the top
: of the gasket. Next I set the hatch cover on the silicon and
: applied light pressure with a small bungee. This gave me a
: raised silicon bead around the inside of the hatch cover that
: conforms to any variations in the gasket material. My Guillemot
: stayed pretty dry when surfing, (the front hatch is submerged
: for almost the entire ride in.)

: More picture here, but none of the silicon seal...

Tony,

That is a very nice Guillemot! Excellent work, I am really impressed by the way that you matched up all of the strips in the deck around the cockpit area. That took some time and effort.

Thanks for sharing your pictures.
