Fiberglass coaming lip?

Howdy All-

I am finishing my coaming lip and know that trying to wrap glass around it is going to be a lesson in frustration. Can I just seal it with epoxy and finish with varnish? The fiberglass from the inside of the deck does wrap around and cover the vertical part of the coaming. I also filleted the vertical strips and covered them with fiberglass when I did the outside of the deck. I have made the lip from strips of ash and glued them in place with Cab-O-Sil thickened epoxy. So it is just the ash lip that is not covered with fiberglass.

Thanks for your help.
