: You can see the 4" long strips sitting on top of the deck that I have
: cut and pre taped at each end.

John -
The glass cloth coaming technique utilizes strips of cloth cut on the bias (45 degrees to the cross-hatch direction of the fabric). The strips are then laid out lengthwise on the coaming mold. Bias cut fabric conforms to round shapes very well. It's not wrapped under the deck, just extends down the inside edge of the coaming. The underside is glassed after the deck is removed from the mold. Go to www.oneoceankayaks.com and check out the coaming process in Vaclav's shop area or logon to Ross Leidy's site (address?) for a great step by step series of pictures.
