Default RE: Gluing canopy to plane

I use rc56. What Idid with my funtana is put a line of it all the way around the edge of the canopy and then set it on the plane. I the pushed it down and wiped up any squeeze out. Then even before it dried, i took 1/4" white trim tape and went all the way around the canopy twice, using the trim tape on the first pass halfway on the canopy, halfway on the covering, to help hold the canopy on, then the second pass i overlapped the first pass and only stuck it on the canopy. The result is clean neat canopy line that is easily removed, but dosnt fall off when you dont want it too.
