In Response To: How many magnets? (Bob Beaullieu)

Hey Bob,
I used 10 pairs of 1/8"x1/2" magnets on each hatch cover on my daughters kayak (Restless Wind). I was pretty frustrated when I put the gasket material in the grooves and saw that the covers were about 1/8" proud of the deck. I left them in place 3 or 4 days and the magnets pulled them both down flush with the deck. I added a loop of 3/4" webbing to each cover for easy removal. More pics at: PictureTrail.com/kc4zqz
Happy Building.
Charles.
