  I have tried many cements to hold the canopy on my models... I have found
nothing that compares to RC-56 glue.  It looks alot like white glue, but holds
to the canopy material and the monokote well with no need to trim the covering
away.  It is VERY reasonably priced.  A small bottle (good for hundreds of
applications) is $1.79 at my local hoby store.
