Inserting Screw Ankers for Attaching the Cabin Hatch





This older photo from March shows the bold pattern for fixing the cabin hatch. The holes were drilled to 12 mm and filled with epoxy.


The screws were fastened to the hatch frame together with brass screw ankers. To avoid epoxy impurity on hatch frame or window I protected vulnerable areas with tape and plastic foil.


Detail: Screw with brass screw anker. To avoid that the screws stick with the screw anchors, I have lubricated them with vaseline.


The hatch with the fastened screw ankers has been set into the epoxy filled holes.
