I looked at your Web site, and saw where you made the reinforcement rings, but not what gasket, etc. you used.

Dave Abrahamson (http://www.abrahamson.net/RV7) and I were wringing our hands over those hatches...we both liked the idea of ready access to all the claptrap up there, but "Man, if there's one place in the airplane where you don't want water..."
