Dana,
 Some more advice on releasing the doors.

 Like Marv said. I put on the electrical tape for spacing
 and then put a layer of packing tape over the top. The doors
 came out easy enough.
 Like Jim siad I had to split the difference by adjusting the
 position of the little wood blocks.
 On advice from Mark at Lancair I hung weight from the
 door on the brackets (or at the arm position) instead of piling
 it on top. This will allow the door to take the same position
 as in flight.
 The little sanding block the manual suggests is useless on
 the lip around the main door. Just go by eye.
 Like Jim I did not put enough micro in in some spots.
 On my next try I am going to try taping the gap underneath
 after I close the door with the micro in place. Otherwise
 trying to fill an remaining gap or just clean up the
 top surface just pushs more squeeze out out the bottom.
 I will also tape a plastic curtain around the work area
 inside the wing on the assumption that it will be less
 work than cleaning up the squeeze out that dripped.
Result:
 The doors fit looks alot better, which I am sure some
 birds may appreciate. They also seal better which may
 get .001 knot or so.
