Epoxy etching

[s.vannostrand at kodak.com]

Sorry, you are right Wayne.  I meant to say cowl in all references.  My 
canopy is fine. 

I haven't had as much luck using K2R on glass/epoxy.  There's not as much 
porosity to draw oil from, however, I guess there is some microscopic 
porosity.

So your canopy is wet and dripping(I wont go there)...   so your fuel tank 
IS leaking again and you fly upside down a lot?  <VBG>

I'm sure you meant your cheek(engine) cowl.
