I am about to cut out the sides of my teardrop (3/4 birch) but am wanting to plan how the hatch hinge, L edge molding, and skin all come together. In addition, the sealling gasket also intersects at this point. My question to those of you who are experienced: How does all this come together?
Does the skin overlap the hinge? Or is the hinge over the skin?
Does the L edge molding stop short of the hinge, or lap the hinge?
Do you cut back the sides slightly below the hatch to accommodate the seal along the top edge of the 3/4 plywd?
Or is it more complicated than simply an order of lapping and should the hinge and/or L molding be notched?
I am building a 5x8 and have really benefitted from all the exchanges here. Thanks for any help or photos!
