Hatch cover replacement/reglass finished
Thanks for all that sent me some help. *Project was not real easy, as I did not have the right tools for the job. *You really do need a grinder of some type for this type of reglass work. *This is the first time I have ever tried it also and I have an all new respect for people in the boat glass trade and even body shop guys. *
I got busy at my real job and was sidetracked, but finally finished.
Thanks to Franco for giving me the ambition and confidence to Get-R-Done. And Clamc for stopping by for his expert advice and final push which gave me a second wind at the end.
Here are some pics of project. *Hatches are now the toughest part of my boat and am confident that an elephant (okay maybe a baby elephant) could stand on these hatches with no damage.
Was quoted $600-800 for this repair, I did it all for $110-$120 + time. *
Cleaning up with mineral spirits.
Thanks again. Steel
