Rounding over deck edges

I'm glassing the outside of the hull of my kayak this weekend and will be doing the deck shortly there after. My question is how much do I have to round over the edge where the deck and hull meet, so that I can run the 4oz glass across the deck around the 90 degree edge at the sheer and 2" or so down to overlap the deck.
I have run a strip of light colored veneer just below the sheer and the more I round over the sheer the more of the edge of the okoume ply I expose above the veneer, so I don't want to round over more than I have to, but I don't want the glass to pull away at the edge either.
How much is enough?

Thanks,

Ken
