when i was at the boat yard i never did any glass work. the glass shop was at the very end of the boat yard them guys would do the small fix were the boat was many times i was working on the boat to .seen them fix some nasty stuff we drop off boats many times for fixing in glass shop .i knew i lost brain cell s in that place. i think they kill flys with MEK . jon did the air plane a cars and race boats so the boats were wood then with cloth over the wood so the glass was not flying around the shop less it was a fix were you had to get to the wood and strip back paint for good bond with 8inch pad
