Titebond III
 
can it be used to glue on a canopy?

if you are gluing the canopy directly to wood, it would probably work if you rough up the gluing surface of the canopy. It sure would look ugly with that yellow glue! [X(]

if you were gluing the canopy to covering, it wouldn't work to well.

i dont think Titebond will work on a plastic canopy.
CA might work but not so good and will leave stains.
there are canopy glues like formula 560 they work well and clear http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXCX70&P=ML.
plastics are very hard to glue as their bonds already saturated.

you might try E-6000 I saw that other rcers were using it and it works real good, just practes with it first on scrap pieces first. I got it at wallmart $ 3.00

You want to use RC-56. Dries clear and water cleanup.

The best to use is either the formula 560 or the RC 56. They are both vinyl based glues.

Stay away from using CyA It will cause the canopy to become brittle.

Epoxy is not flexable enough for good long term hold. If you don't have axcess to the vinyl based glues the next best thing would be RTV.
