Missing OSH this year... Dang!
Vans windscreen layup procedures for the -10 start with the narrow strip of glass and works up to the 3 1/2 wide piece. I saw the layup video Vans posted on the -14, (excellent) and they start with the widest one first and work down to the narrowest. Air pocket management comes to mind as one benefit...any other thoughts/comments?

Not sure why the change .......
I think I would prefer the -10 plans method as it allows you to
sand/fill/feather the edges of each layup as you start small and that
leaves the last layer to gon smooth over a contoured fillet. I used flox
to feather the edges of each layer which avoided the air pockets. I did
my fillet layups per the plans and had no problems at all. Seems like a
daunting task at first but I didn't have any problems at all. I armed
myself with various sizes of PVC with heavy grit sandpaper tacked to
them. Get the 3M spray contact cement (Home Depot) for photos .....
worn out sandpaper just peels off easily. Also at HD is a coarse black
paint remover wheel that does real well in my angle grinder.

I went a different route, and am very happy with it. I used a piece of shaped aluminum, instead.
