++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Yes, use washers http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/hapages/an970flatwashers.php?clickkey=3011869 and replace the foam, sand to shape, and glass. Do about a 2 inch overlap on the glass patch. It's just as easy to do it correctly as to do it poorly. Larry Flesner
