In Response To: Mold for wiping coaming. *Pic* (John Monfoe)

The auto body putty coaming wiped up OK but broke as I was laying it around the cockpit. So I need to do something else that doesn't take too much time. I have never completely understood the rope or plastic tube method. I made a quick drawing with a plastic tube or rope to fiberglass over to make the coaming cove. How would you temporarly hold these to the deck while fiberglassing over them? With hot glue? Also, it looks like this type of coaming would take a larger area then the 1/4" edge of the cockpit to hold the fiberglassed coaming. I know I am missing something here. I will go back to the archives and think about this some more. I appreciate any help.
