Man Mark, what's your technique? I've made a few TDR canopies and I can't get them to look as good as yours.

[mfedasiuk]

I will try and post a writeup on my technique shortly, will also post templates. Just been busy this week! Thanks for the compliments guys

What kind of paper are you using?

[mfedasiuk]

Premium Glossy Photo Paper....then I coat the paper with clear enamel finish before cutting theparts out....I also take a sharpie marker of the correct color (usually black for myschemes) and trace the edges of the cut outparts so the white paper doesn't show up.

Here is a pic of my real mTDR canopy....I made the stickers on the sides by scanning the originals and then doing the color schemes in photoshop...then printing on sticker paper....the problem is the stickers I print are not nearly as vivid as the printed paper canopies which is part of why Iike the paper ones better

Oh...also I don't bother with notching out all the tabs from the templates...I cut smooth lines and then TAPE the canopies together with Scoch 600 tape....NOT the regular 'magic tape'....this is the stretchy kind of tape...

not counting clear coat drying time (which is about 30 min in AZ sun) I can put one together in a little over an hour.

Please read my previous post....you don't need to use the notched tabs from papakura....just cut and tape!
