Hi Dave,

That was also the case when I did my flaps. 
I put some mixing sticks and tape has shims. The key thing
here is that the flap is straight. I used a long straight edge
and checked both LE, TE and the surface between. 

Tripple check that you have correct washout.

I have just started on the flaps.  On both sides, when the flap cores
are set upside down in the jigs, the jig for the outboard piece is
slightly thicker, maybe by 2 or 3 mm,  than the jig for the outboard
piece. Therefore when I press the cores  together with the 5 mm foam
laminate in between, the foam cores  do not line up.  Is this correct,
or is it a manufacturing error?  I could shim up the low side but I am
afraid this will distort the shape of the flap.
