Glassing coaming lips

Hi All, It won't be long before I'm ready to glass the coaming lip on my boat and I thought I would ask others how they did it. Last time I applied the glass then wrapped the cockpit with poly tubing (as shown) until it all setup and removed the tubing. It worked pretty good except for a few areas with resin voids that had to be fill in later. Does anyone have any better ideas to keep the glass in place and get a nice smooth area under the lip?
