Hi Bill, I just finished (mostly) a Nymph and to attach the hatch I used very small pieces of a magnet I'd pulled from a dead hard drive. All hard drives have incredibly strong magnets inside and some of them are only 3/64" or so thick and are easy to break into little chips. Put a magnet sliver on one end of the hatch, and use a piece of scotch tape as a hinge at the other end. On the other hand, if you want to use some Clearly Superior lightweight heat-shrink tubing like David suggested, see: http://nyblimp.com/cs.htm and I'll be happy to sell you as much as you want (:-) Gabe RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
