[QUOTE="architorture, post: 272610, member: 4717"] I'm currently in the process of redoing all the flooring in my 1648 Polar Kraft and making a large front deck as well. I plan to use grizzly grip on the deck and floor. Most of the homemade hatches I've seen on here use carpet which really helps to hide imperfections as well keep the hatch tight and clean looking. Since I plan on using grizzly grip, I'm wondering what sort of edge treatment I can give the hatches so they don't have a gap and in the case of imperfect cuts, those can be hidden. I like the Tempress hatches but I'd like to go the homemade route to save $. I already have the piano hinges, so basically my only hangup right now is what to do at the edges. Aluminum angle is probably out of the question, as I can't find a scrapyard around me that sells aluminum. Thanks in advance, -Tucker This is what I have so far [img]https://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae234/tboard24/WP_0001441.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
