: I thought about the strength issue and decided that the glass over the top
: would probably add enough strength in the direction needed. I also thought
: that the joint could be reinforced with extra layers on the inside of the
: deck where it would not be seen.

I agree that the extra glass on the inside will help. Just wanted folks to understand that an epoxy filet is stronger. (seems like lots of builders read this forum yet never post)

Yours definately is prettier. Would have much prefered it attaching my coaming to the deck, my stronger filet isn't terribly pretty.
