Then I used the provided final trim template to layout the path for the electrical tape layers that will form the edge of the canopy fairing to plexiglass transition.
I used red high quality 3M tape for the first layer.
I then proceeded to cut out the glass for the 5 layers on each side that will cover the canopy frame arms.
I used a rotary fabric cutting knife and a piece of 2'X4' luan plywood as a cutting surface. It took me some time to relearn how to deal with this fiberglass cloth. It is very easy to shift the fibers and end up with something that does not look anything like what you cut out. It is also easy to have the edges start to unravel and end up with a fuzzy mess.
