Poke a bazillion pinholes along the canopy line first before glueing

That 560 stuff is damn strong, best done with as little as possilbe. If used in the cold months it can take WEEKS (if not months) to cure!! As Minnflyer says, poke holes on the glue line as well or it can come undone.

I personally stopped using glue on canopies. Pain in the butt to remove if needed... I use (4 to 6) #2 button head screws (allen head type) cutt off very short. Works great! No heavier than glue and is removeable!

Of course if it is a little stubby winshield like on a stearman then u kinda gotta use glue...
