Default Re: Fiberglass repair/finishing Deck coat

Normally cracks are not a bother but thease are on the outside corners of 2 hatches. They are about 20" by 18" and honestly will probably continue to crack through use because i think the hatch will continue to flex. So I think for now I am thinking of molding a piece of something (starboard?) around them and maybe in the future actually make new ones. This (fiberglass work) is a new area for me but I am a pretty well rounded carpenter and I think next winter I might make moulds of these hatches and give it a whirl. But for now I am thinking of the easy way out as the boat needs many more little things done to make it acceptable for the summer. Do you suggest any kind of moulding?

Thanks alot for your help...I might do the glass/gelcoat on the deck area though. How is awlgrip or gelcoat applied? What method?
