: I didn't put a sheer guard on my Endeavour. I just rounded the edge over
: slightly and put 2" tape on. A few fill coats and some sanding, and you
: can't
: see the tape at all. Looks fine to me.

Thanks, Bobby, Ross and Myrl,

IŽll have to stare at my boat for a few days to decide what to do.

Ross, if I round the edge of the deck over, and hit the wood, it will show up as a discoloured spot after taping, right? I probably should have rounded over the deck before glassing, if I wanted to take that route...

My main reason for disliking the sheer guard is that I cannot figure out how this joint is supposed to stay waterproof over any lenght of time, especially at the ends.
