That's a nifty idea! And it makes me wonder. I've got some Testors "window maker" cement that I suspect is similar. I wonder if flowing this stuff on TOP of what I've done here would work? Perhaps I'll do a test part and see.

Examine the filled area carefully. Use a needle point from the back side to attach any areas around the edge that the glaze has not attached to. Let dry in a horizontal position. The glaze will shrink when dry but remains flexible which allows it to be bent into shape for the leading edge. For a wing tip light a carrier needs to be made to allow the lens to be formed and cut out for installation when dry. The glaze can easily be tinted after it's dry.
