Hi Glen,
This solution is untried & open to criticism,
but you could make up a thick paste of colloidal silica
& epoxy & smear it over the ct ring then
put a mold release agent on the hatch ring. Maybe fill the
O-ring grove with Vaseline & close the hatch
tight for 12 hours. You'll be left with a few small voids
that need tidying up including the o-ring grove.
Might be a problem if you have a half dovetail grove.
Would try it on two bits of steel first in case
they don't come apart.
Regards Alan
