| Subject: | Broken Canopy Corner |
Hi, Listers,
I just broke a 4" sliver of the corner of my RV7 tipup canopy off. After
uttering the appropriate words and feeling really mad about the whole thing,
I made some metal modifications on the passenger seatback that was hitting
the corner each time it was closed with the seatback in a forward position.
That won't happen again!
Anyway, now I want to cement the corner piece back on with as much of an
invisible weld as possible. I purchased some "Weld-on" canopy repair that
came with a little syringe application bottle. It sure looks like the
typical PVC glue although it says specifically made for acrylic, plexiglass
etc. I'm a little worried that it may not be quite the best material out
there.
Any advice? I'd like to make as good of a repair as I can without removing
the canopy from the frame.
Thanks in advance......

Weld-on #3 is the best stuff for glueing canopy material. It has been
used by many others (me included) in your situation.
If you still have some scrap left over from your canopy, try making a
few test coupons first. You'll find that the glued joint is almost as
strong as the original material.

I went one further and fixed the defect then covered the repair with a
'targa strip'. Seems worth the trouble and now makes a really nice seal.

Anyone got any good references (reasonably priced) to get my fuel caps
engraved? The local trophy shop could only do "scratch" engraving which I
thought might not wear too well.
I'd prefer someone in the DFW area - but mailorder is acceptable.
