If you can trim the edge of the door any more so it fits a little below

grade, that might reduce the 1/8" high to more like 1/16".  In other words,

split the difference so the thickest filler is only 1/16, some where the

door is low and some where the top is low.  That should be pretty managable.

We ended up putting about that much flox putty around the opening to bring

the level up a bit.  We used flox because I was concerned that filler

wouldn't hold up in such a high traffic area.



The best filler for other areas that we've used is Superfil.  ACS P/N

09-28250.  It's epoxy and it takes a long time to cure (12 hours!) but it

works and lasts great.
