Steps

  1. Mark lap area: Draw line with a pen/square around deck permieter 3 inches from the bottom. Add 3-inches of masking tape above the line.

  2. (DO THIS AFTER WETTING OUT GLASS?) Add microbaloons to edge, flip board over and add to deck (makes core stick better?)

  3. (WET OUT GLASS BEFORE ADDING MICROBALOONS, AS BALLOONS SET QUICKER?) Wet out 2 layers of full glass sheets on top (S glass with E on top). Roll up glass, then roll gass onto hull.

  4. Cut glass along 4+ inches so that it laps onto the tape on the deck side. Smooth the glass around to lap onto rails and edge of the deck.

  5. Peel Ply

  6. Perforated Release

  7. Breather

  8. Bag

  9. Remove from back, remove all ply.

  10. Carefully sand glass line on edge to the tape underneath on deck.

  11. Sand the hull glass.
