Which glue? Canopy to frame

Post by Phill Tadman »

I want to make a better job of fitting a canopy to a glass fibre frame.

If the canopy is to conform to the fuselage, there will be quite a lot of gap to fill between canopy and frame.

I was thinking of using silicone as the glue joint under the canopy will be covered by a paint line.

Any thoughts?

Hi Phil,

I use Tesa 4965 double sided tape, when I'm fitting a virgin canopy and canopy frame, it's 0.3mm thick and may take up your gap, here's link to where I got some in the UK. - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264297998093

It is sold at Gromotec.de and some of the other large scale glider sellers in Germany, it is good and can recommend it.
