Some few general points I have to add:
* Don't even look at the transparency cross-eyed unless it and the frame are above 70 degrees F. Don't drill it, don't cut it, unless it is toasty warm.
* Consult the manufacturer about what to bond the canopy on with. In general, avoid using epoxies that are thinned for laminating. If it's thin enough to saturate cloth, chances are good that it might be thinned with something that will attack and craze the acrylic. I use Epon 828/Versamid 140, the same resin/hardener combo that I also use to join large fuselage and wing skins to each other.
Thanks, and good luck!
