In Response To: Strip: Cockpit Rim (Glen Gray)

: I am ready to put a rim on the cockpit combing (vertical strips) & I'm
: tossing up whether to go with the glass rim or timber. I think I would
: like to make it from timber, any suggestions greatly appreciated.
: I was thinking of cutting the combing to 5/8" height & gluing strips
: on top of the combing parallel with the deck strips, trimming them to the
: perimeter shape with say a 3/4" overhang then glassing everything.
: Any tips on things to watch out for or am I better off laminating the rim.
: Glen G.

I use 3/4 inch high clear and 3/4 inch overhang. If you use a skirt with a knotted bungee you will need all of the 3/4 height clearance.
