How to Repair a Cracked Canopy
![](https://membership.modelairplanenews.com/members/files/2020/12/Illustration-Story-46.jpg)
The cracked canopy is easily salvaged after a prang. Squeeze the cracks shut, apply vinyl tape on the inside and wick CA in from the outside. After the glue has set, remove the tape, sand the canopy with no. 600 sandpaper and lots of soapy water, and polish it with metal polish. The damage is almost invisible.
