HATCH DOOR REPAIR WITHOUT REMOVING THE HATCH

This is how I did it on Kimberlite.
I felt it was not necessary to replace the veneer where it cannot be seen. I just raised the door to its maximum height and removed the old veneer. Quite simple but takes a bit of time. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

Eric, Did you use 3M pre-glued and prefinished peel & stick veneer? Bill

Hi Bill, No I did not. I used a teak patterned laminate. I replaced that veneer 8 years ago and with care it looks great. I guess in another 5 years I will have to do it again. But for now I am very happy with my companionway. Fair Winds Eric

Hi Eric,
I was thinking to do the same but the carpenter I asked for advise said that I would need to use a press to glue veneer to the hatch. So hatch have to be removed. How did you do it? It looks great. Thank you for reply. Slavko SM 2000 #279 Bonne Anse in Portoroz

Hi Slavko, I just put it on with contact cement. I allowed the cement to dry on both surfaces and the carefully applied the laminate. I used a laminate roller, like a paint roller, but much harder, to make sure the laminate was completely secure. Contact cement is very strong and once attached it is almost impossible to remove or change the position. It has been on for 8-10 years and no problems. You need to make guides on either side of the area where the companionway enters the slot so you can get a router level and get right to the edge. It is shown in my photos. The rest is rather simple.
