: I will glass the coaming on both sides but not the riser (plywood
: that supports the coaming). The riser only gets thickened epoxy
: underneath and I fill the joint around it with thickened epoxy
: to add more holding strength between it and the deck. You can
: probably get away with using no glass on the coaming, the
: plywood is pretty tough stuff but personally I feel better using
: the glass on my boats.

Concur, round the edges, and use bias cut 4 oz cloth.
