laminating wood for large hi tech wind mill blades) that is extremely
viscous. I have also heard of carpenters using an ordinary vacuum cleaner
and a plastic bag for laminating jobs. It would important to draw off any

incompatibilities already discussed.
Have you considered making a visible repair by pinning the two
