Canopy and inlay
We provide in our kit a scale frame inlay. It will be very difficult to get it inside the
canopy frame in one piece. So, simply cut it in two pieces and glue it in as shown on
the photo.
Finally, you can use grey or black silicone to create a nice filled between the canopy
glass and frame. Mask the glass, cut the masking tape parallel to the frame with a very
sharp knife, in a distance of 2-3 mm. Remove the tape close to the frame, apply the
silicone with a very thin nozzle.
Use your finger and form a nice round fillet. Then pull the tape off, make sure you have
a sharp line on the wind screen and let the silicone cure overnight.
Lastly, next day, you simply can rub off any excess silicone from the fiberglass canopy
frame.
