                        What is best glue and technique to glue canopy, so I don’t get over spill.

                        Thanks;

                        Use a white glue such as Elmer's or Testors Cement for Clear Parts. Just apply glue to the canopy and where it sits. Place the canopy on, and let it dry.

                        Testors makes a glue specifically for this, it is in a square, angled bottle, and bonds 100x better and faster than elmers.

                        Yeah, Elmers is ok if your on a low budget, but far too many times has my canopy fallen off after a couple of months... use the Testors glue, but NOT PLASTIC CEMENT!!!! This will destroy the clear look of the canopy around the rails.

                        Has anyone had any trouble with this adhering to Futured canopies?

                        Paint should be removed from surfaces that will be glued. This also stands true for using white glues. Just take some fine sandpaper and sand the joints. You can also scrape it off with an x-acto knife.
