: I glass inside the hull and then add the sheer clamp. There is no
: reason that it has to go under the glass.

The reason that I attach the sheer to the deck is to help fit the deck to hull. The hull, which often changes shape and is hard to fit (uncountable posts on this and other forums re: decks not aligning), fits over the deck sheer clamp strip and holds the hull in place while thickened epoxy sets. No forcing hull and deck into alignment or tape to hold it there. Deck can also be built slightly wider and trimmed to hull edge after attaching. Of course assuming painting.

A simple fillet on the inner edge of the sheer clamp on the deck allows glass on the inside deck to run up onto the sheer clamp.
