Re: use of canopy glue

Hi

That is a very helpful hint

I always use silicon with no problems , that I buy at the dollar store . I use canopy glue maybe twice a year , and it,s too expensive to wast .

Good idea though

Michel

Re: use of canopy glue

Actually RC-56 canopy glue is nothing more than Weldbond that you can buy at Home Depot, CTC, Rona etc at half the price.
Have been using it for years and never ever had a problem.

Re: use of canopy glue

The best canopy glue is a Fletch-Tite glue.

Re: use of canopy glue

Automotive Goop is what many of us use on giant scale canopies. Available at Home Depot and Canadian Tire.
