Dave,
I think that the drawings in Nick's book show why it is better to put the extra glass on top of the main piece of glass.

Soooo.....What model is your 66 VW Bus ?

: Hello All,
: I am finally glassing the outside of my Outer Island after starting this boat

: Jay suggests the football and stem pieces go under the fiberglass rather
: than on top as Nick's book suggests. I like the idea of the football under
: the glass to save time but I am wondering if there will be a visible line
: at the edges or will this go away with the fill coats?
: Thanks,
