I'm curious - for those of you who are glassing the underside of the deck, but not the outer surface until after you've glued the halves together - are you cutting out the hatches, and moulding a hatch lip in the usual fashion, before the halves are joined? I see no other way to do this - but wonder about 'durability' of the deck having only the inside glassed.
