Sika

Well Known Member
How much calendar time (not flight time) do some of you have on your flying RV8's who have used Sika to secure the canopy? Anybody over 5 years yet? Longer?

Anybody have the plane out of a hangar more than in a hangar during this period?
 
Sikaflex Longevity

Glued canopy December, 2004. Flying since May, 2006. Always hangered.

Canopy looks as good as the day it was installed. No problems whatsoever..no cracking or separation of the adhesive. Only thing I did was to take great care to follow the manufacturer's instructions exactly.

This Sikaflex thing may work out after all!
