: Rob,

: I'd try to hide those sanded glass edges with epoxy first. The
: clearcoat dries pretty fast, like most spray finishes, doubt
: that it'll have time to wet out the glass.

Ugh! Don't know how I am gonna do that. I guess I am gonna hafta try. I'll attempt the epoxy work this evening. If it works, then I can sand it tomorrow and start tracing out the maple leaf patterns over the deck length. This means I should have the leaves flaked on Saturday. I fly north on Monday so the clear coat work will have to wait until I get back. This also means I am gonna have to epoxy all exposed areas to ensure that the final look isn't splotchy. This is gonna be tedious work and will probably demand a glass of wine, burning incense and some good music. Thanks for the help, Bill and Stephen, you are helping me create my best work yet. Hmm, perhaps my second best work yet...Linda's Kiche rates as No. 1 I think...I still stare at it and really enjoy the work Linda and I did on that one.
