Last night, I got the rubber around the door installed. A lot harder than it looks, if you do it the way I did. ya see, the sum total of the lengths of rubber add up to more than the perimiter of the door. And since this is expensive rubber, I didn't want to cut it. it will all fit if you scrunch it up a little. It manages to even itself out before the glue dries. I'm using DAP Weldwood contact cement. Sticky, yet forgiving. Next I gotta finish cleaning the frames, paint them, and install the new rubber. Thom -- > IX'ism: Oh man, shit always happens to me.
