Bud,
When in place within the fuselage rebates, both my doors "bulge" 3/32
of an inch when measured at the center of the bottom edge. The
possibility of heat-forming them for a "flawless" fit did not occur to
me.
Would you opine as to whether or not heating and reforming the doors in
my case is warranted, and, if so, what would be the recommended
technique and what temperatures should be optimum?
Thanks,
Fred
