Hi, Does anyone know what material the island hatch covers are made of, and whether any glue works with that material please? Thanks in anticipation! |

Rotomolted plastic As far as i know you can’t glue it, but you can weld it with a soldering iron Iff you weld it at the underside of the hatch you wil hardly see it at the topside Is this the answer you needed? Peter |

Thanks! I should have been clearer - I meant the 8” hatch cover at the rear |
