: I have completed the cockpit. Vertical strips sanded smooth inside
: and out, and bottom end sanded smooth inside to match deck. The
: lips is installed, sanded and radiused. I realize now that this
: is the incorrect sequence but, at this point I am not sure how
: to finish. My plan is to install the epoxy fillet on the outside
: between deck and risers next and cover with 4.5 oz. bias cut
: glass.
: I am thinking of installing glass from the outside bottom edge of
: the lip and out over the top of the deck 2-3 inches and then
: running the deck glass over the top of this layer up to the
: risers then laying a couple layers of glass from 3-4 inches
: under the deck to the top of the risers and painting epoxy on
: the remaining edges of the lip. Is this understandable and is it
: acceptable?? Better ideas??
: Thank you

You don't want small pieces of glass under large pieces of glass, creates an edge that's very difficult to fill with resin and usually ends up with an air gap with no strength at all. I'd glass the deck first, then glass the riser on top of the deck glass. It'll be a trick doing the coaming all assembled, but it's possible, just go slow.
