Michael,
Acrifix 192 is pretty much the standard for canopy repair. Cracks can be V'd out with a small Dremel grinding or engraving bit and Acrifix then carefully poured in place from the tube - multiple pour/cure cycles - until the cured Acrifix is above the canopy surface and then sanded and polished to the surrounding original surface. It cures by UV and a fluorescent bulb allows a fairly quick cure of several hours. There is a learning curve for best results. I have not been able to make repairs invisible, but the result is stable and far better than a crack. It saves about $4K when considering the alternative. It also seems that newer canopies yeild better visual results due to the reaction with the Acrifix.
