Rear hatch shut lines

 Getting close to finished with the back, I got the hatch panel gap tuned pretty well. Had to run a weld bead along one edge to build it up a little, then approached from the other side by raising the opening with a bit of the DynaGlass filler. The glass reinforced filler is preferable on corner edges like this where standard filler could easily get chipped off.

On the other hand, the DynaGlass doesn't spread smoothly as a finish filler. It's best used for bulk filling where high strength is needed. It will be necessary to do the fine levelling with a finish filler.
