Reading the other posts I would agree. Dont take my advice unless there is a radical distortion to overcome.
One other thing for the future though. Living in a climate where humidity can change from week to week, I find it good practice to glass inside and out with as little time delay between operations as possible. Glassing one side and then leaving it for a month can result in timber expanding or contracting on the unglassed side with climate changes and distortion setting in.
