Has anyone used an alternate method of attaching the windows/windscreen to
the cabin cover on the -10? Any comments pro/con specifically relating to
using epoxy for the bonding with an layer of cloth on top to try and prevent
the paint cracking issue would be greatly appreciated.

I gave some serious thought to using Sikaflex which is very popular with
the canopy guys on the 2 seat models. For some reason I ordered the
Weldon when I was batch ordering though so I guess I'll probably go with
that.

Tom,
Use this stuff. After it cures, it stays flexible somewhat. Kitfox uses this stuff to bond the ribs onto the spar. I use it to bond my skins to the ribs (and then rivet them the next day). Several of my friends have bonded their RV8 canopy's to the frame with this product. I will use it to bond my windows on my RV10. May be better than Sikaflex. Don't know for sure because I have never used Sikaflex. Picture below.
You can get it at MSC.
