: Another trick I picked up from R/C glider builders is to use spray adhesive,
: such as 3M 77, to apply the glass, prior to applying epoxy. I find that
: spraying the glass first, then applying it like tape, works well. You can
: spray the coaming first instead, but you'd have to clean up the overspray
: afterwards.

I have also heard that some glass got wet in a wharehouse and would not wet out properly, and the weave shows thru the epoxy. Does this adhesive affect the wet out of the glass? You want an invisible finish on these boats, unless the boat was to be painted. Interested in knowing more about the finish?
