Default How to bond: glass to glass, glass to wood...

When using Goop products to instal, say, a firewall (I've done this with 140 pattern birds), a couple of points are worth considering: 1) a non-porous surface on the firewall area to be adhered seems to increase the bond strength - this is accomplished by fingering some five-minute around the edges of the firewall. Also, the firewall needn't fit zero-zero inside the fuse; a slight gap allows for a stronger bond; 2) fingering a large fillet of Goop only adds weight and the shrinkage of this product will put some suck on glass fuses creating a slight trough on the outside of the skin.
