In Response To: Strip: Advice on glassing over the lip (Todd O)

: I'm all ready to glass up the inside coming and over lip, but could
: use some advice on how to terminate the glass at the bottom of
: the outside coming. I've taped off, but what's the best way to
: cut the glass? In the past, I've trimmed it maybe 3 hours after
: glassing as it's just setting up, but this has pulled the glass
: up a bit and I've had to be real careful. With the glass coming
: up over that lip and down the outside coming, I'd guess this
: will be much more of a problem. Can I let it almost fully cure
: and still expect to be able to cut the glass and get the tape
: off?

The only wood coamings I've done are on SOF's and they are plywood and just varnished.

The strippers all get carbon fiber coamings.
