Coaming Construction, Part 3
Foam cut to fit the coaming Shaping the foam
Pink building foam is cut to fit around the coaming.
Coarse grit sandpaper easily shapes the foam.
Foam taped Carbon fiber and fiberglass layers form coaming
The foam is held down and covered with strapping tape.  
The tape extends over the ash riser and acts as a release
agent.
Layers of carbon fiber and fiberglass are stacked and wet
out to form the coaming.  For more information, refer to
the One Ocean Kayaks website and Building Manual.
Coaming closeup
Coaming prior to trimming
This is a closeup of the coaming after all the layer have
been added.  I used a squeegie to remove excess epoxy.
After the epoxy has dried the coaming is removed for
trimming of the lip.
Trimmed coaming
Underside of coaming trimmed
The lip has been trimmed with a jigsaw and the coaming
epoxied to the riser.  The bottom of the coaming will be
trimmed after the epoxy sets.
The excess lip under the deck has been trimmed with a
jigsaw.  A grinder was used to sand the lip even with the
deck.  A sanding block was used to round over the bottom
edge.  A layer of bias cut 6 ounce cloth was applied under
the deck and around to the inside of the coaming.  At this
time, I added two patches of fiberglass to the area behind
the coaming.  The flat deck is not very rigid.  This will
reinforce the rear of the cockpit for entering and exiting the
kayak.
