: Thanks John,
: I used a mini dozuki saw on the cockpit cus I could maintain plumb
: easier. Cuts a curve nicely. I like the idea of the jigsaw for
: hatches where i guess you can rest it on deck through entire cut
: (perpendicular). Just need to apply another layer at hatch areas
: to build up the 3/16 strips for 1/8" magnets and I'm ready
: to cut. Is it wise to let glass cure awhile before cutting
: hatches? I'm looking at my band clamps for the nylon webbing.
: 15' is way too long anyway. I just wish they weren't orange.....
: Everyone on this forum has given me a wealth of info and advice and
: I still want more, more, more!
: Thanks again, Jim
: Will post pics soon

Nice thing about the jig saw is you only need to drill a tiny bit of the cut first to get it started, perhaps 1/4". Less chance of screwing up :)
