Install a kayak hatch

There was a need for me to have extra storage for camping gear in my kayak, since it was made with only an aft hatch, as many day touring kayaks are, and I wished to use it for extended trips.

The problem is in after market hatches being designed for mounting on flat surfaces, and kayak fore decks having a convex contour.

This video illustrates sugru being used as a solution, in mating these two surfaces, and I may add, working and looking very good in doing so.

I would imagine there are many kayak owners, that would welcome sugru, as a relatively perfect means to hack their own fore decks with a similar hatch installation, and easily provide a simple means to utilize the space there.

Thanks for an awesome product!
