Making a Canopy

I have a glider, a canopy frame, and a new plastic canopy, and now my problem is making them all come together into a functioning unit. I've searched this site, and found a bit of info, but still really need some detailed instruction on fastening the plastic to the frame.
I know the frame has to be fitted to the glider first, and the plastic cut, fitted, and glued to the frame, while in place on the glider. I understand that screws aren't necessary, and may in fact cause trouble.
I think I need a fine tooth circular saw, and grinder, some way of clamping, a specific adhesive and info on how to use it. I can't do any of this, but will be working with an experienced aircraft engineer, who is willing to give it a try.

Any help from this community would be appreciated. Or pointers to some place or person who can assist.

Thanks,
