Good and cheap ideas..thanks. I am planning on finishing the old hatch way panels in epoxy and glass, both sides. What are the alternatives, what do other folks do to get a top notch look and near zero maintenance? ----Thanks.

You just cut off what you need. I first found it holding lettuce and celery together at my local supermarket. I saved them and used them. Now you can make them any size you need. My previous solution when trailering was to wrap a piece of a plastic bag around the shrouds / halyards / and mast and hold things in place with duct tape. Use the plastic under the duct tape otherwise you have the adhesive on everything........
