  • Make a joint along the length of the doors, then glue them in place.
  • Cut 4 battens to form a frame on the panel.
  • Sand the battens.
  • Putty the width of each batten and glue it to the underside of the frame, against the sheet metal, using clamps. Don't over-tighten to get the right thickness of putty (>1mm).
  • Let it dry.
  • Turn the frame over onto the rafters and seal the inside and outside of the frame and between the doors with putty.
  • Smooth the joints with a finger. To make sure you don't "dough" the joints and get putty all over your fingers, dip your finger in soapy water regularly.
