Default RE: attaching canopy?


ORIGINAL: jollycub

Great timing on a topic. I replaced the white plastic piece on the wing of an Easy Star 40 with balsa since the plastic piece was old and breaking off. I would like to monokote the whole balsa piece then glue the canopy on the monokote with...well...canopy glue. Will the canopy glue adhere to monokote? I haven't purchased the canopy glue yet.
Yes.
Rough up the Monocoat where the canopy will go with fine sandpaper, 400 grit wet or dry works well. You are not really trying to get the surface of the monocoat rough but just take the shine off is all you need. (between you and me, I have put canopies on without sanding the monocoat first and have yet to have one come loose)
