Thanks for the positive comments eness76-RCU!

Jim,

I use the Windex so it will not stick until I get it positioned correctly but I understand that it does cause the new MonoKote glue to get sticky.

When the 560 sets up it makes a very nice fillet around the edge of the canopy. Remember I sanded the bottom of the canopy so it had a perfect fit on the fuselage and there are no gaps. The sanding actually beveled the edge of the canopy to the shape of the fuselage. It looks pretty nice as is!

In the olden days before 560 I used an “old” tube of CA that would not fog the plastic for the glue and then put a piece of trim tape around the bottom of the canopy to hide the CA joint. But the 560 looks pretty good without any tape. It makes the canopy look like it was molded into the MonoKote.
