Sikaflexed canopy

Well, I sika-flexed the canopy on my 7a last week. I think it turned out well. This weekend I bonded the right canopy side skin. It really looks sharp.
No rivets to dimple the face. Very smooth and very stiff. I'll bond the left side tomorrow but will be drilling two holes and bolting a handle on to lift the tip-up.
I'll take the canopy off later in the week and complete the finish filleting.
 
Tip up

Lorne,
WOW, that sounds good. Would like to hear more about that. Seems we hear alot about sliders but very little about tip ups. Can you attach pics for us, or send direct, I need to replace 2 tip ups but wasn't looking forward to drilling the plexi....so glueing sounds great.

More praise for Sika

I also did my tip-up the other day. the Sikaflex looks good. The only disappointment so far is some of the paint came up when I removed the tape, so I'll be repainting the frame. :(

I hoped to do the rear window soon before it gets too cold.
 
Lorne, and Larry,

How about some pictures? Please! I'd really like to see your results.

Many thanks!
