Well, I'm just about ready to start laying on the glass. The nose cowl is
covered with wall spackle and mostly sanded smooth. A little more sanding
and then paint, wax, and glass. Any tips on laying on the glass? I
certainly can't manage large sheets of glass. I'm gonna have to lay the
glass on in smaller pieces, creating a patchwork of overlapping pieces a
foot or two wide in some places. Larger pieces in others. I'm assuming the
overlaps will sort of blend together and will be smoothed by filling and
sanding the filler later.

I'd suggest a trip to the library for a quick read of the glassing chapter
of the book canoecraft. Plan on doing the entire layup in one long day.
preferably with a helper mix small batches of epoxy paint it on and scrape
off the excess with a plastic auto body squegee. Don't wear any clothing
that you plan to use again.
