: I'm glassing the hull and would love to know how you protect the
: sheer strip cove from resin.

Masking tape. Remove the tape when the first coat of epoxy, i.e. wet-out coat, sets to rubber and not later than next day. If you wait too long to remove the masking tape the tape will tear and the remaining edge will be firmly epoxied to the boat.
