Tabernacle face plate bond to *moving* MastStep assembly has eighth inch gap
I made about a 1/8 inch space between the bond surface of the face and the bond surface of the MStep.  It will be filled with thickened epoxy thickened with a structural filler.  The big gap is easier to fill than if I had to trim things back to get the final fit of the face plate.  Fillets will be formed and cleaned after this cure, when a taping is also added.
