any help would be appreciated

Try wiping down with a tack rag before pulling the canopy.

Here is an old trick I learned the hard way about getting a perfect pull on a canopy. Pull a good one over your form cut off and trim. wax the outside and place it back on the form . Now pull a canopy over that one . you'll be amazrd how well they come out
