I just made The Big Cut on my -8 canopy (Todd's) and my hope that the back end will fit more snugly against the frame has been dashed. While the front end fits quite well, I still have a big gap about a foot forward of the aft end of the frame. Many of you are familiar with the squeeze pressure these clamps (pictured) exert, so can someone please advise me if I'm risking a crack by pulling the canopy to the frame? As you can see, even with the clamps in position, they only close the gap from about 1" to 1/2". Any suggestions to help me close this gap? "Just squeeze it, clamp it, and glue it?" "Whoa, don't force it!?", Heat gun? Build up the frame in this area? Spacers?
