at the end of the day i decided to go for the sika and get it done. i prepped the canopy and the metal and put down the bead of glue. i had Pam help me place the canopy on the frame and then went to work on getting it all secured. once i had the sides on and the targa in place, i put a little weight on the canopy to force it down in the front and put a decent amount of glue on the seam, then i spread it with a semi flexible peice of plastic. it came out pretty smooth and very well tapered. i will still have to do some more blending, but it came out really good. all the advice about covering everything is well taken, this stuff is worse then proseal for sticking to what ever it touches. i went thru about 10 pairs of gloves.
