I was just wondering how to apply future to a vac-formed canopy. Should I remove the canopy from the surrounds first or leave it on there?

Thanks

I always cut the excess plastic from the canopy first, make sure it fits properly, then dip it in the Future.
If you don’t, you might scratch or chip the Future as you’re handling it and cutting it out.

one more question I should have included earlier, how should I hold the canopy to dip it in future once I’ve removed the excess plastic.

I use very fine electronics tweezers and hold it by the back edge. Once it’s placed on a tissue to wick off the excess that spot of contact from the tweezers takes care of itself.
