Well, if you listen to the Old School guy I used to work with he would say, you
don't goo wood to wood. Put a layer of cloth in there and use the epoxy to fill
the glass...

An interesting thought. Never heard that before, but it looks like it
makes sense - although my work here is just a hatch lid, not an
icebreaker bow... But... Will have to think about it. And then,
wet in wet?

Thanks for that inspiring idea!

I used to do that with Transoms of Ply Wood. I would laminate with a
layer of 6 oz cloth in between. On one work skiff, I used strips of
cloth inbetween the frame and hull along with the usual fasteners. As to
wet on wet, yes. It's much easier to draw Resin up through cloth, than
down so I usually pust most of my goo down first, then soak the cloth
into it. I have used pre-wetted strips for tack and tape, but not for
sheets, much easier to just use a squeegee with a wet work area in my
opinion.

I would put down a layer of goo with no thickener and give it a few
minutes to soak in. Then I would lay down a slightly thickened layer to
set the cloth in. Again, you only use enought thickener to keep the
stuff in place. Then paint down more thickened stuff on top of the glass
and set a pre wetted sheet of ply on top. Then I would apply either
weight or fasteners depending on the build.
