: I can't see how that idea of allowing the glass from the deck to
: overlap the deck has any advantages.

: I suspect that it will create a lumpy join. Epoxy will come down
: onto the part of the glass that overlaps. It will either soak in
: by capillary action or will dribble down as you wet out the
: glass on the deck. That will make it impossible for that bit of
: glass to sit flat.

: Why did you want to do it that way? I suspect that the problems you
: will have trying to deal with the lumpy bits of glass that won't
: sit flat will be much worse than any work people have to do to
: feather the edge of a strip of glass applied in the usual way.

: Although I am always willing to learn new ways of doing things, I
: can see some serious problems and I can't see any advantage at
: all.

The masking tape idea is a tried and true system that works well and is surprisingly easy. You only need to scribe the cloth with a sharp knife, being careful not to cut into the cured cloth on the hull. Then you pull the tape off and the cloth remnant comes with it. I recently used it on my daughter's Ganymede. You can see photos and description at http://twofootartist.com/ganymede-construction-notes/
