Pat,
I have to agree with Dan Heath on this one. Probably
get better canopies, cheaper and quicker, buying them
from someone like "Todds" who does it for a living.

If, however, you are bent on doing this, or you want
to see a good website on making plastic bubbles, go
to:
http://www.wisil.recumbents.com/wisil/bubbles/hpvbubbles.htm
You'll probably have to copy and paste that whole
address, as I think it "wrapped" and dis-connected.
I think their principle actually "sucks" the canopy
into position, rather than "blowing" it, but, whether
it "sucks" or "blows", it is a lot of work that may or
may not give the results you want...
I leave it to you to decide if it "sucks" or
"blows"...

The parent site for that website is:
http://www.wisil.recumbents.com/wisil/whatsup.htm
and it has LOTS of great links to sites for people who
are building fairings for recumbent racing bicycles.
Fun stuff for guys who build their own planes...
Enjoy,
Frank
