true unless he drains it 2/3 clamps it and lets it set for curing time and fills it with clamps on using a plank to across glass for support untill its fully cured

i dunno its up to james on the looks of it if he had a hood no biggy. i do understand your thinking tho. for me im picky sob and wouldnt be able to handle it not being unison lol id have to do the same to the other side make it match
