RE: Removing Canopy Glued on with RC56

Attach a wet washcloth to cover canopy completely if possible invert the fuselage so that the moisture will have an easier access to the seam of canopy. Keep the cloth moist, overnight the RC56 will loosen so that you will be able to remove. This has worked satisfactorily for me in the past. Slow and steady keep moisture to the glue joint!
