In Response To: deck glass, trim and sand? (peter)

: put 4oz glass on North Bay deck
: went over a radiused side down 1/2"
: (keepin it bright)
: trimmed off at the tape line (flush as possible)
: Should i smooth out cut line with sand paper Before
: the first fill coat? that is cuting into glass a little more
: to smooth transition.

I put another length of tape 1/2" out from the cut edge and did one fill coat over the tape and onto the gap then sanded that. I think it eased the transition a little so the sanding doesn't cut into the glass as much.
