How did you seal the area between the glass corners and the frp? Is that a piece of trim that's on it? Looks great! Doug



The "trim" around the fiberglass corner caps is actually bondo.

You put masking tape down on each side of your seam, then put bondo on it about 1/4" thick. Smooth the bondo with a stick so its even thickness, then, before the starts to cure, pull the masking tape up.

It leaves a nice straight edge. Then sand it and paint it and it looks like molding.


If I had to do it over again I would pick a radius based on the circumference such that the distance from one side, up around the top and down the other side was exactly 8 feet.

The 2 ft radius gave me 104 inches instead of 96. Had to by extra FRP because of that.
