I just deleted my page long write up so I will paraphrase. I got a 9" pyroceram platen for grizz. I took the graphite stick-on platen off of the grizz.
My metal platen backing is bent on on the ends. 9" of it are supposed to be flat but when they bent the ends they didnt back it with something solid so it bent the middle a small amount. There is 4" in the middle that is dead flat though. I would like to know what the best gap filling adhesive would be to use for this application. I was thinking maybe red rtv? I wanted to use tape but that wouldnt work unless it was completely flat. Also I plan to use micarta to make a shelf for the glass. I plan to use countersink bolts to attach it to the bent part of my metal platen backing. Does this sound acceptable? Here are pics. If they dont explain I will draw a picture.
