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
