Just curious Glenn, how wide were those gaps that you filled with CA. Would some sort of styrene shim have been easier?

Styrene shims would have worked but would not have been easier - at least for me. I use accelerator along with The CA and I find that if you do the filing within the first few minutes after the kicker is applied, the CA is somewhat softer than the surrounding plastic and it is very easy to bring the surface of the CA down even with the surrounding surface. A shim would have been the same "hardness" as the kit plastic or even harder and I have found that it I have to work at it a lot longer with the needle file to get the same result.Just curious Glenn, how wide were those gaps that you filled with CA.
