In Response To: Material: Bruised glass... (David Hill)

: After the coaming cured on my Cirrus (see "Alternative fabric"
: thread below) after a day and a half I attempted to pry this beauty of the
: deck to trim it.

: As Vaclav recommends I used wedges around the perimeter to pry it out.
: However.... as I was prying I ended up stressing the glass in one section
: (1/4" x 2") along the coaming riser bend. This now appears as a
: white bruise on my very sexy blue coaming. Sigh.

: Any suggest for treating bruised glass like this.

: Best, Dave

Don't tell anyone, but I did the same thing on my carbon fiber coaming. I used a black sharpie to color the white spots prior to adding the fill coats. Can you use a blue marker?
