Very good job Rusty. I hope you are using Rutan Bid glass cloth for the glassing.

If that's what West Marine sells, I'm using it :-)   

I just looked up the description of "bid" on the Spruce page, and can't say that I can see any difference between that, and normal cloth (e-glass?).  I cut the cloth on a 45, and usually have pretty good luck going around corners, but I'm sure "bid" is probably better, and certainly my technique could stand some improvement.  I'm using the lightest cloth I could find, at 6 oz, but wish it was a little lighter for the initial layers.  

There is a difference Rusty. Bid is very easy to lay over compound curves and corners.
