I've build my coaming using Nick's method on about 10 boats. Keep your vertical strips extra tall and cut/sand them flush with the lip. To maintain an even reveal I tape in pine spacers every 8-10 inches around the perimeter. I glue my lip laminations on one at a time. I clamp one strip around the perimeter of the coaming. I run subsequent strips in this manner: I pull two or three clamps off. I then clamp one end of a new strip in place. I'll pull the next one off the old and re-clamp back on the new strip. I'll work my way around, leap-frogging clamps the entire perimeter. The remainder go on the same way. I can clamp the lip of an entire coaming lip using about 25 clamps. It takes about an hour. You can always stop after a few laminations one day and start up the next. There's no rush.
