In Response To: deck glass, trim and sand? (peter)

: put 4oz glass on North Bay deck
: went over a radiused side down 1/2"
: (keepin it bright)
: trimmed off at the tape line (flush as possible)
: Should i smooth out cut line with sand paper Before
: the first fill coat? that is cuting into glass a little more
: to smooth transition.

I like to go over the edge of the cloth with a scraper. It does a good job concentrating on just the edge. Then after a fill coat I'll do some sanding to make it smoother.
