Hi All,

Does any one know what materials are needed to manufacture a "clear lens" for
a wing tip Nav light. Cliff Shaw managed it here http://www.europaowners.org/forums/gallery2.php?g2_itemId=26047 with a great result.
Would it be a two part resin similar to the epoxy we use?
Thanks,

Steve. Europa XS # 630
