Default RE: Canopy Glue clean up

A sllightly different approach might be similar to how I recently intalled a wind screen on a Phaeton 90. First, a pattern was cut out leaving tabs to affix the screen rather than simply glue. Place pattern on model and mark tabs and then use pattern to cut wind screen. Use #11 blade to cut slots and then drag the blade backwards to open the slot slightly. Sand tabs to roughen and insert tabs into plane and either glue or pin from within. Straight pins can be used by heating and sliding along inside surface and sticking through the tab.
