I am ready to start drilling the canopy to the frame on a RV9A tip-up. I need opinions on the following:
Should I drill the frame first and then drill the canopy, or drill through the canopy then the frame?
Should I drill all the way through the canopy, or drill part way through the canopy then remove the canopy to the work bench and finish the holes.
I have the plastic drill bits. Should I drill the hole then enlarge the hole with a unibit or with a larger plastic drill?
After drilling a hole, do you use normal clecos to hold things together? Can clecos cause cracking?
My garage is cold. Has anyone had success with a plastic drop sheet tent and a heater? Summer is a long time away.
Any other good tips, hints or practices I should be aware of?
I have tried the forum archives, but with little luck.
