Some vacform canopies ae easier to cut out than others. I find the sanding down to be the part requiring most patience and care. Was there a spare with this kit as that's a bonus from some manufacturers?

Not this one. I have had spares from other manufacturers.
Yes I try to get as close as possible with sharp scissors, then sand. I built this one not the way the instructions suggested. I think the trick is to do it slowly and patiently.

Assembly complete - now ready for masking. A fair amount of clean-up was requied on the in,dividual parts. The vacform glazing was a bit tricky, but got there in the end.

So far so good.

You lost me Chris at "slow and patient"

chriswil42 · October 11, 2020, 04:50:06 PM

Yeah, I have difficulty with that aswell.
