Thanks all for your replies. I think I'm going to attempt the inside in one piece instead after reading the responses.
Thanks again, greatly appreciated

Re: Glassing Trapper
Last question guys. Would 60" glass be wide enough to go around the entire hull of the trapper?
Thanks again

Re: Glassing Trapper
I like to do the ends first. With a tumblehome, I then like to the split the cloth up the middle, tilt the boat so the tumblehome is vertical, then do the remaining hull 1/2 at a time.

Re: Glassing Trapper
I do the inside with one piece of glass , just take your time with it and it would not be a problem. Remember if you use to much pressure on the wet glass it will move.ralphobarly wrote:Thanks all for your replies.

To hold the glass as it is being wet in I like to use plastic clothes pins along the top edges and then remove them as the glass is stuck to the sides.
