do you guys baste the laps at all when cutting them???i mean on the deck, > before you apply the next layer of cloth??? …I’m not sure what you mean?Baste ONLY btwn the layers of glass if the glass is not saturated well enough.You what the layers of glass as close together as possible.Herb

sorry, little confusing…if i did a tinted lam, and cut the laps… then before i lay out the deck layers of cloth…is it a good idea to baste the cut line and the foam for a smoother transition? then glass the deck like normal.

I personally like to soak my thanksgiving turkey in a brine instead of basting, it comesout very moist.
