Don't do it! If you do you might start sanding.

Eric, when the boat is right way up, do you want the finished bottom of the timber/glass portion of the rub rail to be at right angles to the hull, horizontal athwartships, or sloping up from the hull? First layer looking good. :D
Currently building Jacques Mertens ST21 "Skinnydip".

Thanks Glossie. :) I'm not sure yet,leaning towards a simple right angle but it depends on how I join the gunwales.

Hi Eric, the boat looks great. I'm really enjoying reading you're build thread as I'm unable to work on my boat till I get home. I did the same as your proposing and went for a 90 deg. angle between the bottom of the rub rail and the hull. I found it easier to get things square and it forms a negative angle when the boat is turned back over. I'm hoping this will help prevent spray from migrating over the top like a backup spray rail. Alan.

Thanks Alan. I was just thinking it would match/accent the style line already on the boat. Your thoughts however are plausible. :D

Good Morning Everyone.
I got the first layer glued to the hull on the right. I paid attention and it went better than yesterday. :D
I used 4.5 ounces of epoxy in 3 batches to do this. I tossed about an 1 1/2 ounces of waste. That was enough for a spit coat on the glue side of the rails plus the wood flour glue. At the end I added more wood flour and made a putty to fill the bow where the two sides meet. After the next two layers are on I'll form a nice radius there.

That's not the question. The question is when does it end?
