For thrust washers I have some #1 washers and flattened them. I went with the #1 figuring that when I smack them with a hammer they will flatten and the center hole will still be big enough to get the Micro Bolt thru it. I just took another look and I think I might not have smashed one of them enough. Guess I should put a micrometer on the wish list. Thanks for your comment. It will help in the future. And thanks for the CA comment. I think I might pick up some of the accelerator the next time. I try to put on thin coats so it will dry faster but the CA I bought don't dry as fast as normal stuff. I think that is around 12 coats with a lot of sanding. I bet I sanded off more than half the coats because it ripples up when it dries.
