OK, I've never really understood this bias thing. Does that just mean you take a rectanguular piece of fiberglass and turn it at an angle, in which case it would be pointy at both ends? I'm having trouble visualizing how it would ever, under any circumstances, just drap over an end without bunching up. I can see making a cut and wrapping around an end.
: I used both methods on my S&G. The cloth was cut on a bias so on the pointy
: end up front the cloth simply draped over without bunching up. That was a
: no brainer. On the aft end I trimmed the glass so that it could fold
: around the back edge. Like Chip, I had to babysit it for a while to make
: sure it stayed where it belonged. Both ends turned out as good as one
: would hope for. You can't see the cloth and the sanded and varnished
: finish was smooth and glossy.
: If you are using slow hardener the glassing process is more forgiving than
: you would think and I'm sure you won't have any problems.
: Have fun,
