Default Gluing the Canopy

Putting the finishing touches on a 4 * 60. I'm ready to glue the canopy. The instructions say to cut about 1/16 in of covering off, lay down some accelerant, and use medium CA. The accelerant is supposed to keep the glue from fogging the canopy. I was also looking at using a canopy glue which is supposed to remain somewhat flexible.

My questions are, Can I use the canopy glue directly on the ultracote? Should I use CA? Should I follow book exactly?

I'm not crazy about cutting the covering because, even though I will use 1/4 black trim tape on the outside, I think you will be able to see the wood from looking through the canopy.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
