Well, I bought some, and have been using it over the last week. I've only lifted the hatch 3 times, but each time it has sealed with only the tiniest amount of pressure. It's good stuff, and I can recommend it. The Neoprene stuff is softer and more rubbery than the normal stuff - if you have problems buy some now! Mike ps. Viking Marine in Goole said they had the Neoprene stuff also, but not actually been to have a look yet. -- Michael Askin http://shoestring_DOT_zapto_DOT_org/
