My thought was that if I ever needed to remove the hinge I had much
worse problems that grinding out a little micro/flox mixture.  So, I
completely filled my hinge area leaving enough room for the door to
fully open without hitting the filler.  It finished off well and looks
nice.  I didn't do this until I was satisfied with the door fit in all
other areas.

Posted for "Chatfield S. Daniel" <csdaniel@FNBSouth.com>:

 Good morning,
 
 I am body working the fuselage of my ES and I have a question for the
 group.  How are you finishing the door hinge area?  Specifically,
where
 the hinge attaches to the fuselage, do you fill this area with micro
or
 leave the top of the hinges exposed?  I can't imagine ever having to
 remove the hinge from the fuselage, so my first thought was to fill
the
 area.  What do you think?
