2460 Fuel Tank Replacement

Looking for tips, guidance, challenges to how to remove the deck hatch on a 2460 to inspect and likely replace the fuel tank. Best ideas to remove the bedding compound and pull the hatch without breaking it.

It is well sealed and cutting has so far been unsuccessful.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Can you post a picture of the hatch? Can you slice the bedding with a razor all around and then try prying up?

Thanks
Sliceing by knife was an exercise in futility. A short time with a reciprocating cutter blade and depth guide did the trick.
