: Looks like Glen did something similar above also. Doing it that way sure is
: better than trying to figure it out afterward. Did you glass the riser in
: place after gluing then. Any issues? Glen, how about you too?

I stripped the deck, cut out for the recess, stripped the recess, cut out the recess to proper shape, glued riser strips. Then and only then did I apply the glass cloth to the deck and recess. Then I added a fillet around the riser and glassed the riser. Then I made the lip.

I didn't have any issues at all following this procedure. I was a bit nervous about everything falling apart since I put off the glassing procedure for so long, but I didn't have any problems.
