Thanks David,

Got anxious, had some time to spare, and twisted up some 6 oz cloth into rope and wetted down in place as a fillet whee the coaming meets the deck. Looks like its wetted out pretty well, but I suspect it will look fairly cloudy in the end. It's a shame, it was such a pretty edge. Wonder if the roving allows a prettier fillet. Don't know that I'll do a fillet at the lip/coaming joint. There's already plenty of area contact at this joint and I was not stingy on the glue.

I cut off-axis strips of glass long enough to get around the entire cockpit coaming/lip. I placed it(temporarily)and it looked as though it might work without folds or kinks. If I'm just dreaming, hope someone will tell me so!

It appears the link to my pics didn't work the first time, so I'll try it again.

: If you mean the area underneath the coaming...

: I had difficulty 'glassing it on my Night Heron. I had to sand it all off and
: redo the whole thing (not an easy thing to do, sanding between the coaming
: and deck).

: For starters, apply an epoxy fillet to where the coaming riser meets the
: inside of the coaming lip. Apply another fillet to where the riser meets
: the deck. I let that cure, then roughed it up a bit. I didn't have roving
: either, so I did it that way.

: I then bias-cut some 3" wide strips of glass. I wet them out on wax
: paper, and then used small bent brushes to press them into place
: underneath the coaming. It's worth going slowly. It will take a long time
: to clean up and will be a waste of a bunch of glass if you screw it up.

: Granted, I've only done this successfully twice now. Hopefully someone with
: more experience responds. I am looking for better ways to do this myself.

: If you do screw up, I found that a dremel tool was great for cleaning up my
: mistakes under the coaming. If you go that path, be very careful with the
: dremel tool. It abrades through the glass very quickly.
