    Static ports are part of the type design. Moving them could have an appreciable effect on airworthiness si that drives it to a major alteration.

    I'm not interested in changing the design. I just know mine aren't glued (anymore) and I think that's why i can't keep any vacuum on this leak test. What glue is called for?

    I would use contact cement or Stewart glue. The solvent based glues that is used in other fabric systems will outgas and bubble the paint.
