Neil,
The waterproof glue may work, but I have not tried that.
Another approach to keep rock-thrown-chipping to a minimum would be to follow aircraft recommendations of using at least two layers of glass on any leading edge forms on the plane.
My take is that this is done for safety in case one runs into a bird in flight, which gives the leading edge of the wings more strength against impacts.
On the motorcycle I wanted to keep the weight down by using a single layer of glass, but after seeing the DVD's it may be wise to use at least two layers on any forward facing elements on your design.
That may stiffen the outer layer enough to minimize any chipping.
Jim.
