Finishing the Coaming




I created the coaming lip in two halves with 3 strips each of 1/16" thick oak and black walnut at about 3/8" width. I would glue on a strip and let it dry and then repeat. I was able to finish in a day. When it came to fiberglassing the coaming lip.... that's another story. I worked like very hard on getting the glass to lay around the lip on the outside, but I had bubbling problems like crazy. I ended up removing the fiberglass cloth and just coating with the epoxy resin. I will coat it a few times and test the strength and waterproof ability and then decide on what to do.
