Help, I started the repairs to hatch covers

[rb437]

I did the same job on my gas tank cover a few years ago. I used a heavy coat of resin between the wood and the hatch (with lots of weight on it to eliminate any air). Then I coated all exposed wood with more resin. My thinking was that I could do without the thin layer of fiberglass covering the wood because the wood itself would be strong enough. So far after 4 years, it looks like I was right. The hatch is still very solid.
