How much Sikaflex

I've looked for a while and haven't found how much Sikaflex to buy for a slider canopy and windscreen. This is for my 9A. What I've found is 2-295 adhesive 1- 209 primer and 1- 226 cleaner but these were for a tip up and an 8. I'm ready to order and need help
Thanks

If your fit is pretty good, between 1/8 and 1/4 inch gap at all contact points, two tubes will just do it. The tubes are not very expensive, it's the primer that really costs the most and one can would probably do three airplanes.

I used a bit over 2 tubes on my 7 slider because of large gap at the windscreen to roll bar (but the overall fit is excellent).

YMMV

That's what I needed to know. I was hoping the cleaner and primer was more than I would need on one windshield. I'll order three tubes of the adhesive to be safe.

Thanks

Two tubes is plenty for a slider, be sure to order the 295UV...

I'll go ahead and get three and donate one if I don't use it.
