Looking good, OEM lamination schedule calls for (1) wrap of 1808 on the outside stringers, and (2) wraps of 1808 on the inside stringers and must be continuous from back to front. Also the tops of your stringers must be rounded off to allow the glass to "roll-over" the top, the glass will not conform to sharp top edges. (here I run the stringer tops through the router with a 3/4" round-over bit) At the base of the stringers a filet must be applied, again for the purpose of getting the glass to lay down with 100% contact. Call with any questions 985-542-4336
