Through some Shakespeare in there and and your prose would be of equal qual
ity. I put a very=2C very=2C heavy load of that water based plexiglass pro
tectant purchased from ACS on all the windows. Most of it was applied with
a spray gun and a roller.Just don't drop a power tool on the windows or lea
ve any tools on the cabin top.Thank you for your kind words.JohnSubject: RE

Dr. John=2C your artistic dental work must be a true thing of
beauty to behold. The narrative and the pictures support the accuracy and
gentle touch you possess.
I however suffered a mild infarction looking at your virgin Plexiglas
unprotected by scrap paper from the dust=2C drips or an errant applied stra
nds of
resin cloth being applied by me on a similar project. I am impressed!...
and most on this list know that does not happen too often. Fortunately my
wife and I are trained in the use of defibrillator paddles and applied them
post haste with a stiff drink.
by "Trick" in the title line did you mean "slight
of hand"?

Make vinyl acetate
templates(not shown) Material is see through and you can trace your tape li
nes
onto the material.
Trace that onto thick plastic drop cloth material.
Use same material for a backing piece
Place the appropriate size of fiberglass cloth on
the backing piece and squegee resin into the cloth=2C lay the other piece
with the tracing on top and use a clean squegee to join the top plastic dro
p
cloth to the sandwich.
Cut the shapes with a roller blade.
Peel back the backing plastic and transfer to the
plane. Once on the plane=2C remove the top layer. Use the brush to work the
edge
of the cloth to the tape line.
Finish that edge with a monjet syringe with micro
resin mix=2C do this before it is all set. Sooner the better as it penetrat
es
into the cloth better. This makes sanding the edge easier and keeps the clo
th
fibers intact.
All this give a clean edge=2C the shapes are correct
and the transfer is simple=2C and clean with minimal manipulation of the
fiberglass.
