I actually scared myself a bit. As I was leaving for work, I figured I’d pop the door open to see how the epoxy I applied last night looked. Yeah… not so much. There was no opening that door. It was epoxied shut, and since I was on my way to work, I couldn’t really work on it to get it open. Needless to say, it was a long day at work while I worried about what I’d do.
It turns out that it wasn’t so bad. I did some rough sanding over the joint and pulled some of the tape out from the gap, and the door popped right open.
Then it was back to working on smoothing out the epoxy.
A little ways into this, I realized that I hadn’t bolted in the door striker blocks into the door opening. This could have been bad, as these blocks firmly center the door in the opening. This time, I really lucked out, and the door still fit the opening after installing the striker plates!
With the striker plates installed, I worked on the edges a bit more, and ended the night by adding some epoxy to part of the top of the door that was a bit lower than the cabin top.
