The first to be tackled were the lazarette hatches. This was easy enough using a ratchet socket and a screw driver, like this.
The hatches came away without too much trouble but it was immediately obvious that I had the same problem that I experienced with one of the portlights - the caulk had hardened excessively and was not easily removed.
I think this was because I used old caulk which had partly cured in the tube and was not fit for purpose.
A small, sharp knife was the best way to cut it away. This is it.
The residue was easily cleaned off with some solvent and a scraper.
