As the mold warmed up in the sun, the canopy began releasing for the the PVA as seen by the green tint areas, I expect this will come out easy. Rain tomorrow so no more basking but the sun has speed up the curing process.

The second part came out of the mold at 12 1/2 ounces, I will be using this one. Fitted the canopy to 1/8" balsa formers and side rails, it is joined with a mixture of epoxy and colloidal silica. Once this cures I plan to glass the canopy to the balsa side rail with 4 ounce cloth. After the clamps are removed and everything looks good I with start making the plugs. There is only 7 - 3/8" wide strips that support the top. I left extra material to support the top, My plan to to cut one side at a time to size and glue the windows in before moving to the other side and front windshield.
