: Thanks all.
: This is just the advice I was looking for.
: I just ordered some 4 oz fiberglass to cut strips on the bias.
: I too have used the "masking tape, cut it while it's
: soft" method. Works great.

: When I made my Great Auk 6 years ago for the inside seam I used
: glass that I cut (bias) myself. A bias cut unravels less than a
: straight cut. I have no memory of how that inside seam went. (I
: was of the opinion at the time (uniformed stupid opinion) that I
: could just hide my mistakes with more epoxy, which is why that
: kayak weighs 75 pounds).

: I have a roll of 2" fiberglass tape, with the serious ridge
: problem. I wasn't sure if it there were any tapes that didn't
: have this problem. Apparently not. I wonder if it's wide enough
: to use for the inside seam? I think Nick recommended 2" and
: 4".

: "Selvage" -- thanks for the correct term. Having just the
: right word solves a lot of Googling problems.

: I have a Fiskars roller cutter. I couldn't get it to work on some 6
: oz E glass. Based on your recommendation, I'll give it another
: go.

: Thanks for all the excellent and helpful advice.

: Will

: Paradise is an island with kayaks, fast internet, UPS and a table
: saw in the shade.

I've got a roll of tape that I bought maybe 15 years ago, some day I might actually use it :)

I cut all my own tape, works better.
