Yea I used packing tape, makes a smooth surface inside but dosen't come out
easily...used a 16" 1/4x1/4 strip of hardwood with an angle cut on it to drive
under...book says to use plastic that way the beaded strip isn't stuck in the
epoxy by the tape. You probably will have a hard time keeping the glass tight
around the beaded strip out of the toe rail slot...but who knows.

Subject: Toe Rail Channel Suggestions
For those routing the toe rail channel and glassing it. I found duct
tape to be a poor choice in getting the strip out after the epoxy dries. I
also think (will do on toe rail #2) allowing the 2" strip of glass to harden
over the strip and than placing it into the groove will make it easier to do
and remove.
Thirdly, if you have to chisel it out and break it off in pieces, taking
the allen wrench from your delta bench sander and grinding the small end down
to a chisel point, and than hammering it into the cedar strip, will break it
off in pieces and you can pull it out with a pair of pliers.
