Brief Description:  Release for the Canopy

Just a quick addendum to the canopy process.

NOTE: We used only two layers of the large electrical tape about 1.5 inches wide on top of the canopy portion to give us the gap between the canopy and the bow fairing. The tape measured about .010 thick so in essence we had about .020 gap between the canopy and the bow. Rick was able to get it off after using his plastic upholstery tools to break the seal.

Rick used about 4 coats of mold release also plus a liquid mold release. Partall Past #2 was applied first and then PUA Release Film

NOTE: Don't use the cheap electrical tape for taping the lines and canopy.....use the good Scotch stuff.....you will be sorry if you use the cheap stuff.....my opinion is this is not the place to go cheap on this operation!!!
