In Response To: Strip: glassing the combing (c)

I've never glassed around the lip. I glass the inside and outside of the vertical coaming, then add a laminated ash lip. The lip itself has no glass on it. I've never had a problem.

: i ended up pulling off the glass before it got too thick.
: wasted a bunch but there was no way i was leaving it on.
