I have a door

A recap of the last few days,

The door was cut open,

I selected a SILICONE seal for my weather seal. I like the long lasting flexibility of silicon, and it was about the right size.

I found a piece of luan ply wood was the exact height I needed. The seal was roughly 0.230” high, and I wanted a crush of about 30%. The luan was exactly 0.195” which is close enough.

The door was taped off,

Luan was cut into rings (corners) and straight pieces and hot glued to the seal area.

All was glassed, and the next morning,

I had a nice door seal molded into the top.
