Strip: Fiberglassing the deck
By:Mark Vander Horck

Hi All,
I am going to be glassing the deck of my spring run. I am using 3.2 oz glass, starting with a seal coat to the strips followed by placement of the glass and a seal coat over the glass. My plan is to use two pieces of glass overlapping for and aft of the coaming area by two feet for added strength. Is it recommended to apply the overlapped area and epoxy both layers at once or should I overlay a second piece of glass after seal coating the first layer of glass?

Thanks for your input
Mark
