[Public-List] Sealing chainplates

[mahseer at kos.net]

I made my own raised fitting by using cheap dollar store plastic containers. I put resin in the bottom to the height I needed then placed them on the deck at each location to create the camber needed.  After the resin set popped them out and trimmed to fit.
