Hi Robin,
We used the same adhensive that Christian Eagle uses on our 8A. The complete details with product info are in the archives. The RV was hangered in CT and flown on a regular basis through out the year over nine years - No cracks and no change in the seal.
Hope this helps - Keep at it - it's really worth the effort!

It is time for us to attach the skirt to the canopy frame where the plans call for pop rivets. Is there a preferred or alternate choice to pop rivets (we hope)? Something like epoxy that has been proven to work?
Thanks,
Robin

Hey gents,
I am at the same spot. Have been considering sikaflex (how I did the canopy) and 3M 5200. Where in the archives would I find this information?
