Mark I agree that "something must be put on the foam otherwise it wont stay on 
for long"--quite right -- the glass will fall onto the floor !!! You may have 
read my letter out of context.but I did also state that it is better to have 
too much resin than too little.I thoroughly saturated my foam before applying 
the glass.The Quickie 2 that I helped with used a different foam and we applied 
micro slurry to seal the foam.Stephen thanks for your coming to my defence and 
for the nice compliments  (looks like a pylon racer)Stephen I will contact you 
off line re my nice wrapped canopy and dont try and figure out my 
undercarriage,This was a fix  from Tony Bingelis book which the Engineer would 
not accept(Books again)and I had to cut my wings open to remove the gear .Its a 
long story.I also used braided cable over the alternator cables and fuel pump 
cables as per "book" and the engineer made me remove themI also used connectors 
as per EAA magazine and the engineer made me remove them and solder the 
joins.So much for books and mags.I suppose I had better dig a fox hole 
now.During WW 2 the GIs used to make foxhole radios out of a bit of pencil lead 
and a Schick razor blade and headphones.It did not take us kids long to copy 
them.(and get their hands on a set of headphones.)When are you going to fly 
Mark ?
