Hello everyone,
I'm in the final stages of my tip up canopy frame construction. Initial cuts of plexi have occurred and the Big Cut is drawing near.
I plan to use the Bulb Seal from McMaster Carr on the deck plates.
Questions:
Does this seal end up being the same thickness once compressed as the 1/8" gap we use during building?
Can I go ahead and drill my side skirts before installing the seal?

It seems this seal will end up elevating the canopy frame more than the spacers, then causing a larger gap.
Looks like Brantel ran into this issue:
