Hey list,
I'm mentally preparing for the great door edge fill/sand and I'm curious what size
gap you'd recommend around the edge of the door---0.020", 0.040", 0.060"?
Thanks,
David

David,
Just walked down and measured mine - about 0.050.
For the last step in this I put a thin layer of mico over the entire door
and cabin top gap (door shut and locked). After it set up a little I took a
razor and cut along the gap. It needs to set up enough so it is like
cutting clay. After the mico cures then do a final sand. This provided a
means to have a very uniform and level fit.
This is also a good process to have a perfect oil door fit.
After all that - you then get to chase pin holes for a few weeks.
Carl

I would go no smaller than .06 finished. I would say .070-.080. with
no paint Only reason is that if every the door edge and the cabin top
meet
The paint will start to chip on that edge. FWIW

Geoff makes an excellent point that shouldn't be overlooked. There are
several techniques that you can use to get an almost 'invisible' gap
between doors and cabin. However......
1. The original issue arose because the radius on the cabin cover and the
radius on the door shells is a BIG mismatch and just looks odd.
2. The smaller you go with the gap, the sharper the edges become
3. Sharp edges don't take paint well, and certainly don't ' wear' well (
the paint will chip easily.
4. The !0 doors are " Flopy" and will flex and bend considerably once
mounted to the close coupled hinges. Too narrow a gap will lead to wear ,
nicks and abrasions when opening/ closing the doors.
5. There can be considerable differences in the thickness of the paint.
depending upon, Who does the spraying. Single stage versus multi, Brand of
paint. etc....
My advice is to go ahead and build a good narrow gap, but before
painting/flying, get your sand paper out and relieve it and the edges
appropriately. By the time you're ready for paint, you will have had a LOT
of time and experience putting the doors on and off again. and you'e feel
comfortable based on your own experience. Trust me, I thought I'd only
mount the doors once or twice, I think I quit counting about 30 x.
