I wound up using it to smooth things out after I scarfed the shim strips I made to rough size.<br /><br />Next weekend I get to (attempt!) replace the side door on the garage!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-47705458393827889162012-01-30T17:48:34.866-08:002012-01-30T17:48:34.866-08:001 1/2 hours 'maybe' in a square frame that...1 1/2 hours 'maybe' in a square frame that was an exact fit... :-)Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-27329844750958426892012-01-30T11:21:18.783-08:002012-01-30T11:21:18.783-08:00One additional note: the reviews often lie.
