Hi can any one help me, When laying cloth on the deck of a board should the deck cloth roll down over and tuck onto the base of the board ,in the same manner as when you start on the bottom??
Yes. And what’s more, you must lay two layers of it (standard glassing process).
Two layers on deck. First gets trimmed to the rail apex. Second gets lapped around the rail one inch.
This might be a stupid question but when doing the deck, do you lay the two layers down and glass them at the same time?
Hi ekim,that is correct,I’ve glassed up to 3 layers of 4oz at once using epoxy.
Howzit ekim, After laying the first layer of glass on theblank cut it where the rail just starts to tuck then the second layer should overlap by maybe 1 1/2" past the first layer or whatever you think is enough. Good luck and don't get discouraged if things don't come outperfect because you have to remember it's your first glass job and some people take a lot of glass jobebefore getting it down and some never do. I know one builder whohas been buuilding boards for almost 40 years and never got the glassing part down. I get a laugh out of the guy since he has such a big ego and thinks he mkes the best boards and it just isn't true but people just let him live in his own little word. The bottom line is he hardly sells any boards because of his bad glass jobs. Aloha,Kokua
