    well if your taking hand laid glass or chopper glass that s fine but over the years guys have been fixing what they were thinking was glass when it was smc .what you are looking for is on west systems web pages and making body plugs and making bodys and fixing holes look at any thing on the west systems under jon s . i fixed glass for many years and smc work on many thing s over the years did finish work for jon at one time seen him make many things one of the best i seen. pick a subject and maybe i can put a finer point to how i would do it
