This was the first time I have done this. I have worked on cars that had rust repair done in the past using fiberglass mat. One was over ten years old and was in a wreck and you could not tell that it had rust cut out and replaced with fiberglass mat until we started grinding on it. I have always done it like you have but after being in the sun all day I have seen a line where the end caps we bonded on my Mustang.
