In Response To: Paddle: Glassing paddle (Jay Stallman)

This is hard to explain but I will try. I run some tape about 3/4 inch from the edge of the paddle everywhere I want a protective edge to give myself a clean cut off point. Then I lay the glass flat on the paddle overlapping the tape and I let it hang over the edge about 1/2 inch. I epoxy, let it cure trimming at the tape edge when partially cured. Then I flip the paddle over and and put a bead of thickened epoxy right on the edge of the paddle sitting on the fiberglass that was hanging over the edge. I trim it up with a sander and I am done.
