Have a go of it. Lay the cloth on dry with plenty of overhang (many builders do this the night before, I haven't). I use the whole width of the cloth and just cut off the rest, to within a few inches on both sides. These scraps get used, trust me. You can tell right away that the cloth would rather go over sharp angles on it's bias and not at 90 degrees. It's very obvious. Don't worry much about any strength issues, you'll probably want to reinforce most of those sharp corners anyway.

Mix small batches of epoxy (3oz or less and not during the heat of the day), especially to begin with, so you can see how much time you have before it begins to harden. Take your time and paint the thing (usually from the middle outward to the ends). You will notice that you can manipulate the cloth's strands as you put down the epoxy. You'll soon learn to use this cloth manipulation to get rid of bubbles or humps and keep the glass flat to the wood.

For the first hour or two you'll want to touch up runs or drips that form either with a brush or a squeegee. Although it will look all smooth and purdy, you'll want to use the same squeegee to remove excess epoxy and really press the glass down. It will seem like you're making a mess of it, but don't worry, it doesn't look really good until the second coat fills the glass fibers and they will dissapear completely.

At some time the next morning, use a scraper to remove any runs. This really does work well and is the easiest way to get rid of unwanted epoxy drips. Then, you could go directly to your next coat or wait until later in the day. Continue, if you must, until you can't see the cloth fibers, but try to do each coat within a day or so to get a chemical bond. The sooner you sand, the smoother the remaining coats will be. For example, if you sand the second coat smooth (100 grit) and the glass is invisable, three coats should do it. Don't apply more coats than necessary.

And by all means, HAVE FUN! That's really what it's all about. Enjoy a refreshing beverage with headphones on. I know that you alrady know all of this, just a reminder. Let us know how it goes. And pics.
