When you install the optional fwd access panels, Vans suggests that you use kitchen Saran Wrap as a mold release and mold gaskets in place out of Pro Seal. I wasn't happy with how many wrinkles/grooves the plastic wrap induced in the finished product, so I scraped all the old pro seal out and had a do over.

This time I used PVA mold release agent on the panels for a much smoother finished product. I installed these on the 19th, then left town a couple of days later for Oregon to do transition training with Mike Seager. Also had Kid 2 come into town for a visit, so Today (4-29) was the first time I had a chance to revisit.

Pretty much went as I had hoped- I scraped off the squeeze out with a sharpened popsicle stick, then pulled the panels up and trimmed the inner edges to match the nut plate rings. I've got one spot where I didn't have the panel snugged down quite enough and teh gasket is a bit thick, resulting in the panel riding high by about 1/32" or so, but hopefully it will compress down over time. Either way, I don't think it's noticeable and I'm just gonna live with it for now.
