Platform to bracket layup question

[take a potter]

So I am at the point that the bracket tub is out of the mold.





I have not trimmed it yet, nor have I cut the clamping board down to the correct height or mitered the sides of it. I am trying to get my next steps clear in my mind, but don't feel like I have the best plan.

Right now the inside of the clamping board only has 4 layers of glass on it. I was thinking that after I test mount the tub to the boat, with just 3 bolts, I could trim the clamping board and template the platform.

However, maybe someone who has done this before can give me an idea as to when to glass the rest of the inside of the clamping board. I am assuming that I need to grind back the glass on the outside of the clamping board and run the final layers of glass around from the front to the back.

How do you handle the angles, I will need to cut darts in the fabric to make it wrap but obviously this weakens the laminate, do you just do the same offset seams as anywhere else? How much glass should be on the top and angled sides of the clamping board? My plan was 3/8" of glass on each face of the clamping board. Ie. how many layers thick should the wrap be?
Then once that is done how many layers of glass do you run up the front of the clamping board from the platform? And do you wrap it over the top also, after grinding what you just wrapped when you tied the front to the back?

I guess what I am asking is what is the best way to tie everything together and not mess up any more of the nice surfaces that came out of the molds than necessary?

Seems a shame to lay glass on the top of the platform after it comes out of the mold but can't seem to come up with an alternative, I am hoping that I am missing something because I am too deep in the weeds.
