Dan,

Do you have pictures of the process you are using? I saw the writeup but am still not exactly sure of your method.

Marc

: Green Frog tape works well for a lot of things and was working well
: for taping stuff off without problems with epoxy.....but

: Packing tape, saran wrap, duct tape, all things suggested for the
: coaming form. I covered the foam with grey duct tape and all was
: going really well but then I noticed the rear half of the form
: had wrinkles, should have let it be. The green Frog Tape
: smoothed those wrinkles out like a charm so I started glassing.

: After 5 layers of 3.2oz glass I decided to go off menu, again, and
: decided to go ahead and remove the foam form and this is working
: great. The flex allowed me to remove fairly easy with no
: distortion to the shape, then the green tape came off without
: much effort but left a little surprise, GREEN. The green
: transferred from the tape to the glass and left me with a two
: tone coaming.

: Pretty funny mistake considering all the others I've made, at least
: this one will be hidden under the carbon :)
