: Hi Joe,
: I have used the same and they turned out about that thick with no
: problem. That was a flat lip like Nick's book illustrates. I
: have just finished a recessed channel type lip, also known at
: the One Ocean Kayak method using carbon and glass. The latter
: was thicker due to the formed Chanel and it seems stiffer. I
: think both ways will hold the lid in place under the loads of
: the retention system you use. The desire to over build is hard
: to over come. Have fun.

Thanks Guys, after a nother day of hardening they are much stiffer and should be fine.
One more question, when would you suggest installing these, before or after joining the deck to hull? The edge of these is about .5inch from the seam and it is either going to be overtop or under the inside glass tape.
