Canopy Fairing Done, Completing Seals

It's been a long slog but things are finally wrapping up on the canopy. I finished the fairing which took way too many hours but I'm pleased with the result. I brushed on a coat of resin to identify low spots to fill and sand of which there were none. Then sprayed on filler primer, sanded most of it off, then resprayed it again and had only minor sanding. Vans' directs the primer be rolled on but I couldn't find a filler primer that was brush-able. Only sprayable. So I went with rattle can SEM FIller Primer in gray. After thoroughly masking the canopy I sprayed it on with no issues. After detail sanding around the edges I removed the final layer of electrical tape and was rewarded with nice sharp edges and a minimal lip. To prevent scratches on bare Plexiglas I covered unprotected areas with masking paper. Tape directly on the Plexiglas is to be avoided to prevent crazing. From there I mounted the canopy microswitch and dual CPU fans that are used for defogging. Then on to the canopy seals. The aft one along the roll bar installed surprisingly easy. I thought it was going to be difficult, but I had it on in 10 minutes. Then I carefully torqued the remaining rollbar nuts. To install the forward seals the canopy had to come off which I did with the help of my neighbor. Once on a table upside-down access was easy. The forward seals went on with self-adhesive after cutting them to size. Tomorrow is the side seals then I'll reinstall the canopy and check the fit with it closed.
