Excess Weld On 16

Hi All,

So I'm making an overflow box and as I glue the two pieces together with Weld On 16 some of the weld on seeps out and is on the face of the acrylic. Its not much but you can see where it use to be. Do I have to remove the excess or will it be ok to leave on?

if you try to remove the excess, you will smear the acrylic, if you leave it on, it will look just how it does now but with bubbles in it.
Try a applicator with about a 20 guage needle. It makes for a much cleaner project.
