The plastic wrap works great we have done it for years on model aircraft wings to keep the oil out from the nitro fuel. I'm still flying planes that are 20+ years old and no signs of fuel soaking. I would only do one side at a time as the silicone will dry quick by the time you get everything tight. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

When the silicone is set up, remove the plastic. When the hatch or cover is re-installed, it will seal without the need to "pry it off for removal" each time. My cousin used that trick several times to replace door seals on his junker Chevy cars when he couldn't afford to replace the door seals.
