🚨 #PSA my Lovely #Crafting Peeps!
(This includes you if you have ever so much as reattached a broken-off handle to a coffee mug!)
Have found A Useful Site (if you need it) & Lovely Rabbit Hole (if you don't):
A website of recommendations for gluing This To That (#fabric to #leather, #ceramic to #vinyl, #styrofoam to #rubber, etc.), plus a trivia page & funny FAQs.
Also available en français
Enjoy! 😊

The canopy has been removed from the fuselage so that I can glue in round foam 'rod' that will serve as a seal when the canopy is closed onto the canopy rail.
Tomorrow I will flip the canopy end-for-end and finish gluing the rest of the foam.
Fitting the foam will be through trial and error. In some sections the foam will be too thick...I'll sand it down. In sections where the foam is not thick enough...I'll put a thick layer of tape on the canopy rail.
A good canopy seal helps reduce noise, cold air leaks at high altitude, and can even improve glide performance a tiny bit.

Gluing the canopy with RTV silicone.
1st - canopy elevated on spacer blocks to apply a bead of adhesive.
2nd - example of the worst, messiest squeeze out of adhesive.
3rd - RTV silicone needs the humidity in the air to cure. In the mountains of southern New Mexico that's in short supply. I'll have a crock pot filled with water to boost the humidity level. This will keep curing from taking too long.
4th - test piece of strips of plexiglass 1-1/2 inches wide...the width of the canopy frame's bonding flange. This practice piece let me determine the desired bead with, showed that the RTV silicone is fairly soft and I can easily compress the bead and it spreads over the entire bonding flange. Also, I'll cut this test strip into a few pieces and evaluate them to determine if curing is complete or not.
I'm hoping I can open up the canopy in 48-72 hours.
