Simple coaming jig

Definitely take the advice to check Vaclav's site. I believe he uses plywood to build the coaming before he makes the glass rim. Per David Hazen's book, if I remember correctly, he used a piece of garden hose around the hole and lot's of tape to make a coaming jig. After the coaming/rim cures you clean it up and glass it back in place, use a fillet on the outside of the coaming/deck joint and more glass strips in and out to give it some strength. I gave the book away long ago
