[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 41728, member: 162"] Re: Chauvet SlimPar Pro RGBA Review Thanks - they're not perfect, but it was a good project for refining my woodworking craft. The biggest issue I had (and pretty much the only issue) was that I used 1/2" for the plywood thickness in my dimensional calculations, when it was more like 31/32". I didn't think that it would matter, but it actually did, as inside pieces were slightly too short. Since the Dominos reference off the edges, that meant I had a little gap to fill. The Duratex instruction sheet recommends drywall mud rather than wood filler due to adhesion issues: [url]https://store.acrytech.com/files/Applying-DuraTex.pdf[/url] Based on my experience, I think drywall mud can work for filling a crack between pieces, but I used it to fill in a countersunk screw hole where I reinforced the wood near the front handle, and that's one of the places that got torn up. When I get around to repairing it, I think I'm going to try water putty or even Titebond, as it's hard to do worse than drywall mud - even if adhesion isn't perfect with something else. [/QUOTE]
