In Response To: Something New - Hatch Covers! (John Herr)

John;

I a somewhat similar misadventure. I think I clamped the assembly too tight and squeezed the epoxy out of the joint. About two weeks later the braces had split apart from the hatch cover on the ends. I just slobbered some more epoxy in and reclamped it. I did use some glass tape as an extra measure. If the radius is correct there is no need to overkill something that will not show.
