Wax it before installing it. Scarf the aft edge of current cowling so that the outside TE stays but remove some material forward and inward. Now lay glass up to current cowl thickness. Grind off the excess layup on the inside forward to make a smooth inside surface. Now lay glass aft edge to several inches forward. Maybe some of the composite airframers have a better idea, but believe this would work. Bernie, hope to run snorkle tomorrow.
