Use drill bits to cut the micro while still wet. Trace around the perimeter of the access panel, holding the bit perpendicular to the surface and against the side of the panel. Put a little cab-o-sil in the micro so it doesn't sag back in the gap after you cut it. 80 grit sandpaper or Permagrit sticks can be used to clean up the gap after the micro cures.

Subject: [LML] Gaps at door and access panels

Ok Guys,

What's the secret to getting really good 1/16" gaps around the door and access panels?

I've tried a lot of things: many types of tape, thin cardboard strips, thin metal strips, filling and then trying to sand evenly. Nothing gives really good consistant results.

Help!!!
