: ......Is there a reason to cut the hatch openings before
: molding the rim which holds the sealing strip? I am tentatively
: planning to reinforce the hatch lid location, build the seal
: rim, and then cut the lid, attach the rim, and finish the edges.
: I have been thinking that this should work to ensure that all
: the bits accurately retain the curvature of the deck.

That would work fine, too. Just mark the hatch outline on the inside of the deck. Most people mark on the outside, but it really shouldn't make any difference.
