: After the coaming cured on my Cirrus (see "Alternative fabric"
: thread below) after a day and a half I attempted to pry this beauty of the
: deck to trim it.

: As Vaclav recommends I used wedges around the perimeter to pry it out.
: However.... as I was prying I ended up stressing the glass in one section
: (1/4" x 2") along the coaming riser bend. This now appears as a
: white bruise on my very sexy blue coaming. Sigh.

: Any suggest for treating bruised glass like this.

: Best, Dave

Sand the glass off with 80 grit in a ROS. If you are very careful you can sand only the glass off and not cut/remove the resin coated wood. If you cut into bare wood you'll have a discolored "halo" around the spot.

Sand under bright light and look carefully as you sand. You’ll see the glass as a white pattern as you sand. Sand ONLY until the pattern disappears. Use a low speed and light touch with the sander.

Then apply a patch of glass overlapping the hole, wet-out , fill coat and feather smooth.

All the best,
