Strip: Magnetic hatch hold downs

Hi all
I am constructing my first Kayak (Redfish Spring Run) and would like to use magnets to hold the hatches in place. I have just recieved the 1/2" X 1/8" neodymium magnets. What is the recomended spacing and do you use glass mat over the top of them to keep them in place or can they simply be epoxied in?
Thanks
Steve
