: Ross, if I round the edge of the deck over, and hit the wood, it will show up
: as a discoloured spot after taping, right? I probably should have rounded
: over the deck before glassing, if I wanted to take that route...

I checked my photos, and it looks to me like I did in fact glass first and round
after. Maybe I'm just lucky I didn't have any noticeable discoloration.

I imagine it would depend a lot on the type and color of the wood you use, and
possibly the epoxy, as well. I wish I could supply a more definitive answer.

Good luck, which ever way you decide to go. It's a nice boat either way.
