.....

 To join each stiffener to the canopy frame, use a 2 BID wrap-

around lamination from the inside skin of the frame to the outside 

skin of the frame, with an overlap onto the frame of a minimum of 

0.7". Grey tape may be used as shown to provide a cleaner edge for 

trimming later. Flox is used where the stiffener meets the frame. 

.....

The third stiffener is placed transversely at the aft canopy 

bulkhead. Ideally, this third stiffener should rest on the top of 

each side stiffener, and on the bottom of the aft canopy bulkhead. If 

necessary, a small piece of foam can be used to accomplish this. This 

third stiffener is likewise attached with flox and 2 BID tapes in a 

wrap-around configuration. 

.....

When completed, these stiffeners will form a very rigid box 

around the canopy frame to stiffen up the entire assembly 

considerably, as we'll as provide hard mounting points for the 

hinges, pins, latches, etc.
