The heavy stick. You have to mark the exact spots you want to glue the plastic to and hit the marks with the first shot or you could be in trouble. They touch and there is no sliding into place. I think it would work great for the standard shaped canopy very well. I just used my fingers to add some pressure around the glued sections and that was it. I then used some thinned down filler and blended the lip of the plastic even with the fuse. Next day I used fine sand paper to blend it in so it's completely smooth and even, when I put on the paint you shouldn't see where the canopy and fuse blend. I'll find out this weekend when I lay down the first color of paint. I did pre-paint the fuse under where the canopy fit, now I decided that area shouldn't be blue but yellow. Klass Kote doesn't care what you paint with it so I will paing the plastic around the area where the plastic meets the fuse so you shouldn't see it. I'm going to give the air brush a try again and see if I can't improve my painting technique. I have four colors to use this time and I'm looking to do something different. For me anyway. Lou's paint job on his big swoose inspired me. I just finished making the plug for the cowl too so as soon as I get the epoxy I will be glassing up a couple of those for both planes too. I'm building a new plane and trying to finish another at the same time.
I was wanting to get this Swoose finished to take to AZ for the big float fly at Havasu but I was held up on buying the one color of paint needed. If it flies I will take it over next year.
