Rob that's what I have always done...just get it close and use glass w/some black dye to cover the minute cracks. The trouble w/fitting a pad, especially a curved one is can take hours to get it perfect for a hobby guy and it's just not worth the time when you can glass the small crack and it's not even noticeable. powdr
Thanks Powdr! That is
exactly the lesson I learned. Thanks all for your advise. Much appreciated.
