: I spent all evening trying to get fiberglass fabric to lie flat on all sides
: of the cockpit coaming on my Spring Run. I finally gave up.

: Since the coaming and the lip are made out of walnut and ash laminated with
: epoxy, do they really need fiberglass?

: Brian

I glassed the coaming riser to the deck before I attached the coaming lip. I then glassed the lip too. This makes things a lot easier.

Your method may be okay but do not then lift the yak by the coaming or you may pull it off.
