Definitely an interesting idea, but I'm not sure you would be able to keep the cloth from wicking the epoxy past the edge. Perhaps if you stopped short of the edge by 1/2" to 1", this would work. You'd have to pre-assemble the hull and deck before you applied the cloth so that you could do your final fitting. Sounds good in theory, but I'm not sure how it would work in practice. Let us know what you decide.
