I applied more Fire Sealant 2000+ to the firewall recess corners.
With Jeff's help, we bent the right canopy side bow to match the fuselage skin. We placed the long boards at the front and the aft ends of the canopy and clamped them in place, to prevent these areas from moving. We place a long 1X2" board on the inside of the bow and placed short 2x4's on the outside of the bow, spaced about 12-15" apart, with a long 2x4 on top of them. Two clamps were then placed at the ends of the 2x4's to keep them in place. Two more clamps were then placed in the open space and tightened. The inside clamps were tightened and loosened as necessary to bend the bow in a curved fashion.
As we were getting close to finishing bending the bow, we noticed that the long 2x4 was bending inward, because we were applying so much force in a small area. Jeff got a 2x2 steel angle, about 25" long and we placed that on the outside of the long 2x4" to be able to apply more pressure.
