: How exactly do you deal with vertical part of the cockpit coaming while
: fiberglassing the outside of the deck? Does the fiberglass just work its
: way up the sides or what?

Yup, It will wet out right up the vertical sides. Make sure there is a good fillet in the corner.
The part I've had trouble with is squeeging the area to eliminate the excess resin while keeping the glass on the wood. Any hints out there??
