Hello, I need advice on sealing the forward hatch on my boat. I have stripped the varnish and removed the glass and am now attempting to plan on how to seal the glass. It has always had a terrible seal around the glass, leaking during rain or big seas and has therefore always been covered by canvas. The angulation is about 14 degrees which I believe allowed enough water to sit and work it's way through. My hope is that I can achieve a good enough seal to be able to leave the hatch uncovered. My first thought was a 3m 4200, but I don't think it plays well with glass. The design of the hatch has the glass sitting in a well without mechanical retention. Anyone have any advice on how to seal the glass to the teak frame and finally achieve a waterproof hatch?
