Rick Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi, I've built two of these. If you tape a piece of sandpaper to something perfectly flat, and sand the mating surfaces on that paper perfectly flat, you can hold the pieces in place and apply liquid cement from inside. It fits a lot better. There is no gap and it looks like a panel seam, so there is no sanding. The back wall fits alot better if you add .010 strip plastic to both sides, then cement the rear wall in place. That also all but eliminates the problem of the interior tub being too tight.
