: I've done it both ways (a few times). I now prefer to install the
: sheer clamp first and run the glass over it. Personal preference
: I guess.

With a fillet I am sure it works fine. I used to add two extra strips for the sheer clamp. With the hull thickness that worked out about five eights of an inch plus. But the last one I just added quarter inch strips I had lying around (one each side with the bottom rounded over with a router) and it was actually enough to form a strong join.

A single strip like that, especially if it was half radiused at the bottom, would require a very tiny fillet to facilitate glassing.
