[C320-list] plastic tape under companionway hatch

[Richard A. Walker]

>From WindWalker Archives.

Hi,

   The material used here is very similar, if not identical to the slick
strips that
woodworkers use on jigs and Table Saw fences.    A woodworkers supply store
sells this stuff pretty cheaply and it has a really durable adhesive on it
already.

Follow this really ugly link to the product,

or go to www.woodworkerswarehouse.com  and search for "UHMW"  and you'll see
the stuff...
Comes in a few different widths on a 10' roll.   It's about the same
thickness as the stuff on the
boat, perhaps a tad heavier...

Definitely use Rick's suggestion to clean the surface carefully.  

That's what I use...

Dear 320 owners,
Does anyone have any experience replacing plastic tape runners that  the 
companion way hatch slides back and forth on? 
Thank You,
