Had a lot of fun over the long weekend and managed about 20 or so hours, filing, sanding, cutting, shaping and installing the doors and rear windows. However as I filed, sanded and bevelled the edges down, I started noticing splits or places where the glue hadn’t joined in some spots. Having installed the inner and outer shells as one unit on the cabin cover during the gluing process, I did notice some slight distortion to the outer edges when trying to apply pressure to keep both halves together and in contact but I can’t say I noticed any problems with the mating of the shell halves on the bench.
As both doors ended up with similar problems, I can only say I didn’t get enough down pressure on the outer shell edges once positioned in the cabin cover doorway.
Where I could, I re-glued but rather than trying to force the shells together where they wouldn’t stretch easily; I made some thin fibreglass shims and glued those into any voids.
Worked well and can now be filed down to shape again.
Just something for those yet to do this step, in order to save a bit of time and grief……
