: Other S&G builders - canoes or kayaks - how did you do the ends?

I carefully folded the glass around the bow on my S&G boat and then babysat it to make sure it stayed down. On this boat I didn't bother with that; I went back and epoxied a bias cut strip after. You could use your fast hardener-mix on the bias strip and it will stay in place even easier.
