Thank you for the offer to help. Ive got one built and started, however was told that I may overestimate the gap area. The forumula converts fractions to inches and I was told that if I start measuring a supposed gap and it starts out at 1/8 and gets bigger as I go along, then tapes off to nothing, that I would double dip. However, I do not find that to be the case, so... Im hesitant about my form. Had seal gap training today using wooden dowels and I didnt see how the double dipping could occur. Ill type in the scenario that was presented to me that could result in double-dipping and overestimating. Ill also be more than happy to let you see my form. dmc79765@yahoo.com
