I use what the LHS sells, its called Formula 560 by Pacer?
It also goes on white and dries clear, seems alittle goes a long way.
I have used a couple others, dont recall the brand, seem to work the same though, just fine.

Be sure to heed the temp. advisory.

Ditto on the other recommendations. If you ever need to use CA for certain canopy applications, make sure to buy the odorless type as it will not leave fog on the clear plastic like regular CA will.

I use Weldbond, it's white until dry, then clear. It sets up very fast for a white glue, and is semi-flexable when dry. Very similar to Wilhold R/C 56.

1/4 flyboy,

Weldbond is available at just about any wal/K/mart/Lowe's/Home Depot. I got out my bottle, but no price. I think it was about 3.00 bucks for eight oz. I usually make a small bead, lay on the canopy lightly, couple pieces of tape, and when dry, if needed to fill a little, go around the bead again.
