Brief Description:  Canopy Gluing #3 - Glued the front bow

I finished up the gluing on the canopy. I cut a larger opening in the end of the glue dispenser which made it easier to caulk a bead...I guess I was using too small of an opening previously - lesson learned. I cleaned and primed and then installed the small spacers and glued over them. I didn't need clamps and the rest of the canopy being glued held the bow in position with the spacers installed.

For whatever reason, I used many more nitrile gloves, probably because I was using the finger fillet method instead of the popsicle sticks to smooth the fillet. I also primed and filled some spots along the bottom of the canopy. There are some places that are not cosmetically perfect (smooth), but it shouldn't affect the bonding strength.


Glad that is over, now I just need to wait for it to cure
