Nice bookmatching on those half sawn accent strips Kurt!!
Headed for Huntsville state park for Thanksgiving, hope the water isn't too cold.

: The goop sticks to the gasket material, and you dig the gasket out
: afterwards. Yeah, it seems a little primitive, but the idea is
: to get the cloth to lay very precisely, kind of a poor man's
: vacuum forming.

: I like to go inboard just a little, to give the hatch lid something
: hard to rest on that's at the exact level of the deck so the
: hatches will lay truly flush. I say that so convincingly, but
: the sad truth of the matter is, I have yet to make hatches that
: lay really exactly flush. I am getting better at making them
: watertight, though, and that's all I really care about.
