Cedar strip repair

Hi all,

I need advice on how to repair a 3' by 1' section of glass. It seems to me that the epoxy never bonded to the hull as the glass had delaminated and came off fairly easy. Should I use a 'seal coat'? Should I use the 'wet method' to apply the glass as decribed in the West System Manual? Should I use the 'dry method', which must be how the boat was constructed? Any advice on over lapping the glass? Thanks in advance.
