: After seeing Spidey's laminated-glass hatch lips built using Vaclav's
: technique, I just had to try it. (thanks, Spidey!) A few days ago I made
: one for the fore hatch of my SK S&G, and it really turned out nice. Since
: the deck panels where the hatches are installed are perfectly flat, I was
: able to build the lip "offline" using a piece of plate glass as
: the building surface. Worked great.

Hi Ross, How did you cut the final shape? I used avaition metal shears while epoxy was still green. Did you wax the glass?
