New topic.  I want all you finishing experts to spill your guts.
The question: what is the best way to get that nice, narrow, uniform width 
gap around the inspection covers?  I mean a nice uniform gap of about 0.020 
to 0.030 inches all the way around including the radii at the corners, with 
crisp edges and no wiggles or chips after finishing and painting.  We want 
award winning stuff here, nothing sloppy.
I have tried various approaches with various degrees of success, and they 
require widely varying amounts of time and tinkering.  So let's hear it 
folks: what method consistently provides a nice looking gap ready for paint 
without lots of fiddling, fixing of chips, variable width, nonuniform radius 
in corners, piddling, and general frustration.  Let's figure this one out 
once and for all. Inquiring minds want to know!
A frustrated panel fitter, 
Fred Moreno
