Same as with the hull. This prevents the fillet material from dripping on the floor.
The deck ready for filleting & taping. Also a nice view of the underside of the hatch sill. The goo was a little messy where it seeped out, have to do something about that.
Note the fillet around the hatch sill. It seals the endgrain, distributes the forces smoothly and provides a base for the underdeck glass.
Ready for the epoxy. The single continuous piece of cloth will give maximum strength to the layup..
Note how the fillet smooths the way the cloth drapes the hatch sill and deck.
All ready to have the glass trimmed out of the openings with a razor.
