In Response To: Sealing/Glassing Deck underside (EdG)

hey ed...

i'm about two weeks ahead of you on my coho. on page 11 of the manual, it falls under the "glass tape under side of deck seam" section. i was misguided a bit and thought that the underside of the deck was totally glassed, but it seems strong enough with only tape along the seams, and i still have to glass the top. hope this helps...
