Status: offline 		Hi everyone. I put a post inthe Giant Scale forum about glues for afixing canopys. I'm curious what my extended WildHare family is using to afix theirs?

Also, Tom, would you happen to have a "un-sellable" canopy laying around there someplace that I could get to experiment with some various glues around the neighborhood? (craft glues available in W-M and Michaels)

Thanks!

Jon

Status: offline 		I've got screws in my Edge canopy right now. but want to secure it with a glue too, incase the screws decide they don't like it there.

I've tried RC56 or Formula 560 before, but didn't really care for it because it is so runny. I'm going to look for Household Goop and the E6000 at Wal-Mart or Michaels.

Has anyone tried Alieen's Fast Tacky Glue? Is it thicker than the regular Tacky Glue?

Jon
