: Hello again Mike,

: I think I initially mis-understood how you did your coaming. I now
: see, I think, that you did not do a riser before installing your
: foam mold. Sounds like a good idea to me because installing the
: riser itself is quite a bit of work. What specific adhesive did
: you use to hold the foam, and how did you clean it off the hull
: after removing the foam? Did you consider using packing tape as
: a mold release rather than tin foil and release agent?

: Best regards,

: Allan Edie

I found that the packing tape I tried to not be all that good of a release agent, stuck pretty well to the epoxy. Also very difficult to get a smooth surface using it.
