<DIV><SPAN class=280504503-20122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I've
seen the canopy used as the mold for PVA & wax, with excellent results.
Paint on top of the pva/wax and then lay up directly onto the paint/wax/pva. The
paint will incorporate into the glass for a shine that's beautiful. And
amazingly enough for about 1/2-2/3 the weight of the
original.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=280504503-20122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I did
this once BUT rushed to pop it out and didn't let it cure - got
pinholes.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Course you DO have to get to the underside of the canopy to do this
:-))</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

tooling resin for making the mold or a good epoxy and fiberglass to make the

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have seen mild success by using the original
canopy as a sort of mold....wax the inside surface then glass
it....hopefully it can then be popped out......will certainly have a few
pinholes.... I saw this actually work quite well to replicate canopies
for a widebody 60.....the glass ones were light too.</FONT></DIV>
