How to add Stainless mirror to hatch?
 

Not sure if this is the right spot to ask but...

I want to put mirrored stainless to the underside of my hatch.

The underside is smooth....do you glue it on???

Not sure why you want to use stainless. I think most people including myself use plexiglass. In any case I would us some fasteners.

The mirror on the underside of the hatch would it not be mirrored stainless......like the hatch undersides of Donzi and Sunsation??
I am curious to the thichness of the fiberglass hatch...is it as simply as using a short screw and not going through into the foam??

I initiallly tried special "mirror adhesives" on the plexi/Lexan ..............save the money and headache of two applications. Use 3M 5200 and a few small screws around the edges. Install upside down, with weights, and let it dry 36 hours or more.

Im trying to do the plexyglass,still unsure.

Thanks....I assumed that all mirrors under the hatch were stainless.I didnt realize that there is a mirrored plexiglass!!

How thick is the hatch? I never thought about it because mine is 3/4" marine grade plywood. If you use the plexiglass you need to put some type of thick rubber washer between it and the mounting surface where the screws are or the mirror finish will scratch because it's on the underside.
