[Public-List] wood inset in hatches and seats

[Mark Dietrich]

Thanks for all the information and photos, they look great.  I think I'll try the solid teak set in with some relief cuts on the underside.  I guess it should be set in with epoxy.
Thanks again

Hi All,

We took a different tack on this...

I thought about replacing the aft hatch with teak inserted wood and how nice
it would look, then I thought how much it would cost and how much work it
would take to do it, then I got out the colloidal silica filler, microlight
(for final fairing) and epoxy filled it in, sanded and painted it, redrilled
the hole for the little vent now I don't have to do anything with it at all.

Has anyone replaced the wood panels in the various locations on an Alberg?
The wood seems to be 1/4" Luann mahogany glued over 3/4" strips of plywood
with an 1/8" gap between them.  The 1/4" panel never cracked but looks old
and the top layer got sanded through.
I'd like to hear of any satisfactory results and also those that didn't work
out so well before I make my attempt.
