Default Plexiglas/canopy adhesive

"Eugene Wendland" wrote in message
...
What is the adhesive that is used to install the windscreen/canopy to their
respective frames. I'm replacing the canopy on my Pazmany Pl-2. At
present, I have about fifty screws attaching each half of the Plexiglas to
the sliding canopy. Rather than risking drilling and tightening all those
screws in the Plexiglas, I think a more modern approach would be the
adhesive found in Glastars, Glasairs, etc.

Does anyone know the commercial name of this product?

Regards

Eugene

There was an article in Sport Aviation back a few months that described
using SikaFlex for adhering the canopy for a Van's RV-4, IIRC.
Try this, for starters:

I did a Google search back when the article came out and there was plenty of
info on the various varieties of SikaFlex including some excellent tutorials
on priming, adhering to aluminum, powder coated frames, etc.
