Ted,

Are you talking about when to fill the weave? If you're asking about applying the hull glass and leaving the weave unfilled, next applying the deck glass and then filling the  weave for the whole boat, there's no downside that I know of. That's exactly how I did my WD12. You're absolutely right, it made feathering the deck glass overlap easier.

My WD12 build website also has a neat trick for getting a nearly perfect edge that needs almost no sanding to invisibly feather it into the deck that you might be interested in checking out.

Have fun,

Laszlo

    Sorry about the prior errant send - composing on a cellphone can be dangerous (I'm now on a computer).

   Thanks for your reply. Yes, I was referring to filling the weave after both halves had been glassed. Glad to hear my idea was not original but one you had done succesfully.

   Your approach of plastic taping the hull to aid in trimming the deck glass that overlaps sounds great. It was something I was toying with doing but I had not thought about doing the trimming when the deck glass was leathery so it parts nicely along the line where the tape is. I certainly will give this a go. Thanks for all your suggestions and your WD12 build webpage. I've referred to it often.

Laszlo,

I agree with Ted, I have borrowed some ideas from your WD12 Build. I am just getting to this part.

Thanks!

Rhonda
