On the subject of "clear canopies", a fellow by the name of Bob Martin wrote this describing his technique over on the Fiddlers Green website's forum hosted on PHPBB server. He uses clear packing tape. In his words: "I usually print out the sheet that has the canopy on a regular sheet of printer paper. Then with a sharp x-acto knife I cut out the windshield areas. Then I cover the entire canopy with 2" wide clear tape. I get it at the dollar store for a buck. Then cutout the entire canopy outline. Also cut out all the areas where the glue tabs are. Then turn the canopy over and cover the underside with clear tape. trim off the excess tape. Important, slit the tape where the glue tabs were. When forming the canopy these tape tabs will be used to tape the canopy together and hold its shape. Make sure the surface you use when applying the tape is really clean. Avoid smudges and finger prints. Finished.. Clear as mud Huh " There was a video posted showing the procedure, but I can't find it now. And the link I had only goes to an empty page. Personally, I would print and cut a second sheet of the canopy on regular paper (again, cutting out the actual window areas), and then glue this on top the first to hide the sheen of the tape where it lies atop the framework. The discussion link is here at the very bottom of the page: www.fiddlersgreen.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2926&p=13198&hilit=tutorial+clear+canopy#p13198And for a bit more clarification, consider this which he wrote elsewhere: "Cover both sides of windows and trim off excess tape. Notice tape separation around the windows. :cry: Image Next, using a sharp modeling knife penetrate only the top layer of tape and go around the whole window. careful not to cut through both layers of tape. :shock: Image Go around the entire window with your finger and press the tape down. Notice the tape separation is gone. :wink: Image You can do this from either the inside or outside of the window. I prefer to do it from the outside. GOOD LUCK :mrgreen: "
