What my manual states, and don't forget to cut out the cured glass in
the lightening holes.

I think "shim" can be taken literally, not a structural issue. It
seemed to me that if the gap is too big, you just won't know if enough
micro has been buttered in there for a secure bond. 2mm is not a lot
of "butter," though.

Should be about the same, as Redux is only for the flange. More
important is enough flox so that the Redux does not sink out through
gravity.
