Interesting timing on this topic, we were kicking it around that the field Sat. The subject was how to attach a canopy that you couldn't screw down or that had no flanges to glue down. The canopy cement was suggested. I've just a little left of a bottle of Elmer's clear caulking that I used to install some glass in a display case back in 1994. It still is working. It is a lot like the canopy cement in that it it is a white liquid that drys clear. It is tough as nails when hardened. The problem may be that it is no longer available.

If Ican, I get at least six pan head screws, or better yet the Dubro button head sheet metal screws to hold the canopy in place, then Iuse one of the basic colors of Detail Tape from Kragans auto to finish the trim. It comes in 1/8" and 1/4" widths and if it is put on clean covering and canopy, it holds up very well. Iuse the 1/8" width in black to define thepattern on the covering.

The issue with canopy cement or my caulking istwo fold. It is very slow drying and it is difficultto hold every thing tight while it is setting. I mean three or four days and it maynot be fully set, depending if air can get inside the canopy or not. The other issue is being ableto remove it for a wandering pilot or otherreasons. The screw and tape or tape only seems to solve those problems.
