But the general form of the deck should be quite stable once the top is glassed. And some twist could probably be untwisted when the deck is fastened on the boat again. I might worry a bit about changes due to moisture and temperature differences though, so it might be a good idea to prime the underside before taking away the molds. /m Hi Amos,

I cannot see how I could turn over the deck to glass the underside without the risk of glassing in a slight twist so that it would not fit when placed back on the hull. I think it might work all right on the smaller Coins but I am not so sure about the bigger ones. Do you know of anyone who has tried Tom's method? This is probably a subject that should appear on the Yahoo Coin site. Amos Hi Matti,

This is one of those things that would have been easier if done according to Toms specifications as I understand them. That is, lay the deck, glass top, turn deck around, glass underside, put in bulkheads, put back deck. I am sure the results will be the same though by glassing upside down. It is just a bit messy. /m Hi lself,

Laid glass upside down? Hi Matti,

How did you glass the underside of the deck? Laid glass upside down?
