The gaskets that A&H used are EPDM foam cord. This can be purchased in 3ft, 10ft, or 100ft lengths from McMaster-Carr at “non-marine” prices. The Landfall 38 hatches use 3/8” diameter foam cord for the small head/galley and 1/2” diameter cord for the larger A&H hatches. For the small hatches which were repaired first, I used the A&H recommended Silaprene Adhesive to glue in the gaskets. When I later replaced the gaskets for the larger A&H hatches, I used Dow 795 as the gasket adhesive. Since I was using the Dow 795 for reseating a new hatch lens, I saved on gasket adhesive costs. The Dow 795 worked just as good if not better than the Silaprene Adhesive. I highly recommend Dow 795 as the gasket adhesive over the Silaprene. One pay a premium for Silaprene as it is not common and very limited in availability whereas a 10oz cartridge of Dow 795 cost $12 at McMaster-Carr.
