Save the scrap to use to test paints or
glues.
Cut the hatch on the marked trim line.
Sand the underside of the hull liner
with the 100 grit sandpaper.
When gluing the hull liner, you want to
clamp it firmly to the deck, but you don’t
want to clamp over the strakes or chines.
(raised areas)
Sand the underside of the deck for the
bond with the deck liner.
Sand the deck liner. All plastics are best
sanded in several directions.
Score the hatch opening at the marked
line 2 to 3 times until the opening
separates from the hull.
These 3/16” thick scraps of Masonite
panel will let you press the hull while
avoiding the raised areas.
Close up of the edge of the scrap how
it avoids the raised chine. Any smooth
flat material will work here.
Taped in place, they will not move.
Without the scraps, you could not use a
larger flat surface for clamping.
Cut slowly. The plastic is thicker on
the deck than the hull.

Sand the inside of the hull. Sand both in
