I filled the gap with epoxy in two stages (partly because my epoxy order was short one tube and getting some locally without a car turned out to be difficult)

I was pretty diligent when working with the epoxy so I just had to hand sand the edge.
Thanks to another boater with a rental car I got the third tube I needed to finish the fill
This is what I've used on all the bedding and preventative balsa protection I've done on the boat and I really like working with it.

These machine screws should really be flush so I can compress the butyl tape without the frame bottoming out so I carefully filed them down.
While the balsa was airing out and I waited for an order of epoxy I set to clean all the caulk residue from the hatch frame .
I got a huge garbage bag from the Alton marina to make a dust catcher attached from below with masking tape. (the Alton marina in Illinois is covered which is why I choose to do this project now.

The main hatch has has been leaking for a while but I wanted to get off the great lakes before taking it apart (I made a quick and dirty rain cover that attached into the four existing snaps for the sun shade)
