John Gregson Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hi Guys, I have a Nine Eagles Syrunner as my fly around at work lunch break plane. The canopy has become detached from the foam block it is fastened to. The foam block locates really well on the fuselage with magnets. It looks like it was originally held on to the foam with 3 very thin double sided tape strips that have just given up the ghost. Any ideas please on the best way to fasten the canopy on the foam block? what type of glue will be best or can you recommend, or where can I get some new very thin double sided tape? Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 It's not a clear canopy is it? I would think a cyano glue would do it. I'm not sure what foam the model is made from - just make sure it doesn't eat it! Edited By GrahamC on 04/03/2013 17:24:43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 MD Products Procan. Zap also does a really good canopy glue. Cyano can fog canopies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 You could cut double sided Sellotape to a narrow width if you get the type with a backing paper and pin it sticky side up to a board and use a scalpel. Maybe support a straightedge a bit above the sticky part if you need to guide the scalpel. I found double sided tape was great for fixing flat glazing to cabin sides. I installed it an early stage of construction and left the backing on until after the model was covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
