Epoxy filler adheres well to itself, so any small areas left from the initial fill can be skim-coated and blended into the repair.

blind-fly
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Inflected forms:
form: blind-flies
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: Any of several medium-sized blood-sucking flies, of the family Tabanidae, usually species in the genus Haematopota.
pos: noun
tags: countable
examples: I caught a number of that species of Tabanidae which has a large, grey-striped body, greenish-yellow eyes, and entirely transparent wings. This is locally termed the "blind fly" and it feeds on blood.
While the bite of a mosquito or a tsetse fly may not be noticed, the bite of a blind-fly is very painful. The female takes about five minutes to gorge itself with blood and when it leaves the host animal its abdomen is so distended that it must fly with difficulty. Once it has started to probe it can be killed or picked off with the fingers quite easily. It is perhaps because of this that the name blind fly came to be used for a fly which has large eyes and is by no means blind.
gloss: The game of blind man's buff
pos: noun
tags: uncountable
examples: Possibly derived from the Italian name of the game: Mosca cieca, which literally means "blind fly".
Bengalis, like the Italians, call the name "Kana Machi, "Blind Fly", and, as with us, the blind man has to touch one of the players sitting round, and after feeling him, has to state his name.

More particularly agnosticism is an attitude of “know-nothingness”.
Anxiety is a state of emotional know-nothingness in which the individual succumbs to helplessness.
gloss: A perverse admiration or embrace of ignorance.
pos: noun
tags: uncountable
examples: There was a growing spirit of "Know-nothingness" and avoidance of foreign things in the town and the German community was, at the same time, growing stronger in its determination to protect its own rights.
Know-nothingness is this time's prime feature: a new know-nothingness, a greater know-nothingness, even a new order, even neo-fascism.
The new know-nothingness presents itself as a perverse reversal of Bacon's notorious declaration, “knowledge is power.”
Furthermore, sociologists Paul DiMaggio, Richard A. Peterson, and Jack Esco Jr. contended that, while such an interpretation of country music required a dismissal of more socially progressive songs by some of the same artists, songs such as “Okie from Muskogee” wreaked untold havoc on country music by leading “popular commentators to see all country music as rightwing know-nothingness."

pos: adj

Senses:
gloss: Of an aircraft or a component of it: having undergone a shock stall.
pos: adj
examples: The Meteor, Group Captain [Hugh Joseph] Wilson said, puts its nose up at the shock stall, so that had the aircraft become fully shock stalled during the record runs, the pilot would probably have been able to recover without hitting the sea. But at the speeds achieved—the fastest run recorded being 983 kilometers or 611 m.p.h.—only parts of the Meteor (for instance, the area over the wind screen) were shock stalled.
This is only partially true, since drag increase can be overcome by brute force on the part of the propulsion system, but ignorance of the rather delicate stability and control problems when flying in a shock-stalled condition will probably result in disaster.
At about Mach 0.9 a marked recovery in lift occurred, suggesting that the separated ("shock-stalled") flow tended to disappear as Mach 1 was approached.
Some parts of both Wilson's and Greenwood's aircraft were shock-stalled, which means that all normal lift characteristics were upset during the run.
