This evening I
attached the foam blocks to the canopy support arms. I scuffed the aluminum support arms with 100
grit sand paper. I then mixed some epoxy
resin. I added some flox to the
resin. The instructions say to add
enough flox so the resin will not pour when the cup is tipped. After preparing the resin/flox mixture I
spread it on the back and bottom edge of the foam blocks. I then slid the blocks into place on the
support arms and clamped them.
Unfortunately, during the process I broke off the
small end of the right block at the hole.
I put some resin/flox on the joint and pressed it in place. I think it will be just fine. After curing overnight I removed the
clamps. The blocks appear to be attached
just fine. Even the small broken piece
seems to be attached very well.
