What is best way to finish the door jambs, ie cover the screw heads and fill gaps between cabin cover and aluminum fuselage structure? Is a layer of glass needed or just fill with micro?

The plans call to fill the interior door jamb gaps with flox, which is stronger than just micro. I used flox to fill 95% of the gap and then used micro to topcoat. Micro is easier to sand and look nice.

I also countersinked the screw holes a little deeper and then cover the heads with micro.

On the exterior joints where it mates with aluminum, I used micro to fill the gaps, then two layers of cloth and then used micro to blend it in to look smooth.

We have not used cloth. As Bob said, flox for big gaps and the micro from there.

Do not archive.

I countersunk and filled the screw heads and glassed over the door jambs and the seam between the cabin top and the fuselage. Then (where needed) filled the area with micro and sanded.
