    Apply only a bit of CA glue in the countersunk holes. XRAY uses the highest quality USA-made carbon fiber sheets available on the market. The carbon fiber sheets are pressed, and this production technique may result in slight variations in each sheet’s thickness and flatness. The carbon manufacturer cannot and does not guarantee perfect uniformity as it is impossible to ensure each plate’s perfect flatness with such thin material thicknesses.
