I'm doing the prep work on my Swoose so I can get it painted. One of the things I had to do before painting was attach the canopy. The canopy is just a shaped flat piece of plastic I had cut to shape and size to fit the plane then it wraps around the fuse. I have always used the commercially manufactured canopy glues but they often don't hold all that well. During my Swoose build I followed another thread of the Swoose built by Lou Mclancon {spelling} and he was building a enlarged swoose. He used Contact Cement. I have never tried to glue down a canopy with contact cement but decided to give it a try. I just marked the canopy with a pen then used a small brush to put the CM onto the fuse then brushed some onto the plastic canopy. I had already made up tick marks to make sure I got the canopy on exactly where I wanted it to go, I have used a lot of contact cement over the years and know, once you touch the two parts together they stick right away. I got the plastic down onto the wood and just ran my fingers around the glued area. The next day there is no way this glue is ever going to come loose. Good idea and sticks like it was welded on. The canopy is tinted with Ritt Dye and the glue shows through very little. I will be painting around the glued area anyway. Give the Contact Cement a try!!
