Paul,
I think I experienced what you are talking about. I ended up with the
following ingredients: a slight thinning of each of the pieces to decrease
thickness, filling up to them with superfil on the fuselage side. But as I
would tighten down the screw it would deform the mating and ended up with
small bed of flox to make everything level. I used a tape release film
between the flox and the cowling in the joggle and only tightened the screw
enough to keep the two pieces of the cowling from deforming. Then after cure
I filled the aft edge up level on the fuselage. Hope this makes sense and
helps.

Still having all sorts of fun fitting the cowlings. Another question. Were
the two cowlings and the fuselage all come together (ie aft end on the
cowling joint line) the cowlings sit very proud of the fuselage line. This
appears only partly due to having two thicknesses of cowling for the
fuselage joggle to accommodate at this point. The contour of the joggle at
this point does not line up with the contour of the cowlings rather it
forces them outboard (finding this difficult to explain). If any one
recognises what I'm talking about and has a solution I'd be grateful..
