I have used the same tecnique, but without the extra layers, on my Great Auk i just used one 5 mm strip of ash, it turned out fine if you dont look at the point where the ends meet, - I have still a lot to learn

: Wondering if anyone has used this for the coaming. I used one long
: 1/8" x 3" strip completely around the cockpit
: attaching with 5 minute epoxy then used epoxy and almost every
: clamp I have to add 2 more layers. Trying something different on
: the first build but I think it will be as strong as the standard
: strips.
