: As an experiment I have used CA glue on a repair patch. It worked OK and
: hasn't failed yet. It did not go completely clear, I don't know if this
: can be overcome with technique.
: Although it worked fine for a patch, I would not recommend gluing down part
: of your glass with it and then try to do the rest with epoxy. The glass
: will still lift up with the CA glue. If you can hold the glass down while
: the CA sets up you could also do it with epoxy. I have clipped spring
: clamps to the edge of the glass to pull it tight.
: If you were to glue just a small section you would end up seeing the edge
: where the cloth is not completely wet out, yet saturated enough to prevent
: further saturation.
: While I think CA glue is a good emergency patch alternative, I wouldn't
: recommend it a primary wet-out resin.
Sorry, what I mean is to use CA to pull or hold the cloth flat so that it will not wrinkle. It can be done outside the epoxy area and sand off later. I want to check if the CA is compatable with epoxy or if it will leave a white patch when cover with epoxy later.
I like the idea of using spring clamps to draw the cloth tight. On a large area, I need something in between to prevent the cloth from shifting.
Thanks.
