I did not round my deck edge well enough when I planed.  As I glassed the deck, I ended up with air pockets under the glass at the hull/deck edge.  Cosmetically it won't do.  Most of it is a inch here and there.  Near the bow I have a couple feet where the glass I mostly gouged out for repair.  Is it correct to assume the overlapping glass on the deck onto the side hull is there for structural support?  I am near ready to varnish.  I am about to take my plane and round off the edge proper and lay some glass again.  Just wanted to know for sure that this route is necessary.

Thanks
