Wait a minute, masking tape along the sheer? This is what Pygmy says to do on their kayaks when glassing the deck. You can't do that on a CLC it would be sacreligious! ;-)

The basic sequence that Pygmy recomends is as follows: Put the masking tape on 1" below the sheer, wet out the glass, let cure just a little bit, cut the glass at the top of the tape, remove the tape.
