That's exactly right, with this adhesive thinner is stronger.  (Some epoxies
do have a minimum film thickness though.)  It's also a good idea to hold
some firm pressure on it while it sets up.  But don't go too overboard on
the pressure, it adds some permanent strain to the glass that may eventually
lead to cracking. BTDT
