Default Canopy bolts

I have several bolts on my canopies that I have to tighten on a regular basis. I am cautious about putting to much torque on them for fear of starting a crack. Anyone use thread lock or can I really crank on them?

From the cabin, buttons are on the nuts, I'll pull one off and check.

I believe they thread directly into the fiberglass. Not real sure there is much you can do. I will call Dave and get an answer.

Just spoke to DCB. They secure theirs with PST. DO NOT TORQUE them down tight. The canopies WILL crack. I've done it!!!
