| How can I cover gaps? |

Well, if you mitered the front piece and then sanded it to round, it would look real good. Someone on here has detailed the process in the project announcment forum. As to the other one, you could use bondo or spackle to create a fillet there. Slop the bondo on the gap, then use something like a spoon, or other round scooper thing and drag it along the seam to create the rounded shape. Once you feathered the edges out, it would be a very smooth transition. |

There's always bondo and sandpaper. Bondo it and sand it down to whatever u like. Seen quite a few things done here using this method to shape or repair things. |

I would bring the CP piece all the way out, round it over, and leave a lip on it. That will hide the front seam. For the top seam, you could use a piece of shoe molding on the bezel that will mesh up to the CP piece of wood. |

Yeah .... overlapping the front part to have a lip sounds like a perfect idea and I most likely will end up using this idea. Thanks a lot I kind of like how "mountain" used PVC pipe to generate the curves for the corners of his control panel box. I was not sure how he painted over the PVC pipe though. I know he used bondo .... I wonder if he simply put bondo all over the PVC and then painted it. I am not sure I could do that but it is a good idea I have to look into as well since it does generate a perfect curve. |
