: Here's the blue flexible tape:

: The fine line tape works better for long gradual curves since it
: won't stretch and thus change shape.

Thanks, Bill. One more question: will the clear coat wet out the epoxied deck and cause the discolorations from sanding to disappear similar to what varnish does? I sanded through the glass in some spots and the edges are nicely whitened...I can't do anything about the ghost leaves but I aim to hide those as much as possible by placing the metal flaked leaves over top. This is a big concern because there are many spots that need to disappear...otherwise I will have to use varnish and that means a small brush and careful work.
