here's my question.

still concerned the thickness of the glue might mess up the
'calibration' that was done.

Greg,
I used two thicknesses of spacers (regular, and thin [T]) to which I
used 5 min. epoxy to bond to flangewhen mixing the Redux, I set
a bit aside before adding flox and dabbed pure Redux onto each spacer.
When applying the stiff, flox=99ed Redux, I attempted to keep it a
tad away from the spacers, relying upon the =9Csquishing=9D
to fill any voidsmy clecos were spaced 6=9D apart...it
seemed to work AOK.
