: Hi,

: I scarfed on my Ch. 17, but covered the scarf with a veneer compass rose ...
: I also covered the butt joints near the coaming with more veneer - a
: couple of "accent strips" to hide the joints. I had some veneer,
: but also used some of the "iron-on" 3/4" veneer tape
: available from the large home centers - this is the stuff they use to
: cover the edges of shelving, etc. Be a little careful covering the veneer
: with fiberglass and epoxy, as air tends to get trapped along the edges of
: the veneer. Good luck,

: John

You can brush on a little epoxy right before you start glassing. This should level out. Good luck.
