Finally got all transparencies installed. I noticed a few crazing cracks on the rear windows and we did not use clamps in those areas, nothing major. Installed the windscreen today and we have a small void on the flange one one side with the weld-on 10. Apparently some of the glue ran down before we placed the windscreen. An area about two inches long is filled only 1/2 the width. The forward edge is void. Would it be possible to fill this void with epoxy in a syringe , no weld -on left? 

All other flanges 99% filled, very pleased. This is my first post on Matronics, I'm a regular on VAF, hope that's OK with you guy's. I've been doing some research here for a while.

Thanks Ron

I would just leave a small void like that alone.  There's plenty more

holding in the screen.  If you need to touch it up for cosmetics, go ahead,

but don't worry about a failure.

Decided to fill the void with epoxy. I used a syringe and filled the void with no problem. One of those things that  shouldn't hurt and only takes a few minutes.

I think you did good Ron.  Nice to do the gap fill and just

make it feel better to yourself if for nothing else.

Welcome to the list.  Glad to have you.
