Will the monocote it contacts take glue or should I try clear silicone sealant, which I have lots of??? Best Regards Capt,n

Nice look to that canopy. Think I'll do the next one like that.

Canopy glue grips ultra/mono. Give it a minute after placing it. It initially draws up like it's not going to stick. I use a Q-tip and smooth that out and after a minute it sticks good. Q-tip the inside of the canopy while the stuff on the fuselage is getting a better grip.

What squeezes out gets wiped off with a wet paper towel. What squeezes inside cures clear and is hardly visible.
