REFLECTOR:Door Lip Micro

[Pat Shea]

Craig,

I used an epoxy (West) and straight flox mixture to
fill these gaps. As Alex said, it's a little harder to
sand but not too bad - and you'll end up w/ stronger
lips. Flox ends up being a lighter mix than milled
glass and tends to "stand up" or "stick" better which
I liked. I wouldn't recommend using cabosil. It
doesn't add any material strength, and although it may
make the mix a little thicker I found it also caused
it to run over time (after all, it is a silica).
