: Hi everyone,

: I'll be fiberglassing the deck on the weekend and I wonder what is the best
: way to trim the glass in the green stage. Along more than 75% of the shear
: I have no gap. In the worst case I have about 1mm gap. It is easy to trim
: the glass with a sharp knife where you have a gap. What is the best
: approach in a section where there is no gap. Should I slowly notch through
: the cloth till I hit the shear line?

: Andreas

Would it work to use masking tape in your situation? Before glassing, run a line of masking tape along the sheer so that the top edge of the tape is where you want the edge of the glass to be--then use a razor knife to trim the glass at the tape edge while it's still a little green and pull off the tape. Voila! Nice clean line.
