One final comment on CA. You can not move the parts once you apply the glue, it acts instantly and will glue fingers, clothes,... to the wood. I've had to sand out fingerprints that were left where I had to pry my fingers off the wood. I also used it tack the glass cloth to the wood before applying the resin. Note that the glue seems to lock up the fibers and look like a air void not allowing any resin to get in leaving a white spot. I only used a couple of drops at the corners. Finger nail polish remover seems to soften it up for clean up from fingers.
