I want some good reading material on modern techniques. Infusion, vacuum bagging etc. My local library didn't have squat.. Your glassman is right Bradford. I am sloppy with glass, to watch a pro do it for a while helps but it still takes a lot of skill to do a clean job.
Hatch looks great BTW..

Great & timley post. I have a question, as I am getting ready to redo my fuel tank hatch. I noticed that you did not cut the access holes until after you glassed? I was thinking of cutting them first, so I could seal them up when I glassed. Interested to know your thoughts and/or what others have done. (i.e., Cut the access holes first and then glass or wait until after you glass?) Thanks, Jim

On my new hatch I have no access hatches, instead have hinged the hatch to open completely for better inspection, and less chance for water intrusion to the hatch core.

After glueing in the wood and laying the mat, I cut the hole. I still had some grinding, sanding, and glassing to do after that, so that was when I hit the inside edges of the holecuts with resin. You could also cut the holes after glueing to the top, before laying the mat. I think either way would work fine.
