I normally use gator glue to bond the canopy to the aircraft but wanted to try it out with PE parts. How well does react with PE (do you get a good strong bond)?

Actually, Gator Glue was, I believe, developed especially for P.E. I've used it for that pretty exclusively. It works great! It gives you a little time to position things, and when fully cured, gives a stong bond. Use it with confidence on P.E.

Cheers,
Mike
