: I always do it this way if I have a sheerclamp to do it with.

: one benefit is that the deck is more flexible with only the inside glassed
: and will conform to the hull with less force.

: If you follow my link you can see the process as well as the method I use for
: feathering the overlap as well

: Etienne

The sheerclamp was designed to eliminate glassing the seams. If you made a sheerclamp AND
glassed the seams you spent a lot of extra time and energy and added extra weight to your boat.
