Need help Expanding First Order Waste

[unitaam]

I’ve finally gotten around to building my Denuo Novo First Order kit and I need to expand the waste about 3 or 4cm evenly from top to bottom on each side. Would love some thoughts? (Ignore the glue and rough edges I haven’t cleaned them up yet)

 

I’m wondering if I should cut this piece on both sides add length and use slurry to cover and smooth?

Glue additional plastic then ABS slurry or bondo if you are going to paint. ABS slurry apply in very thin coats, lessons air bubbles, it's a lot of work to sand and polish though.

 

Remember too that the back remains open so if you have a bigger gap it shouldn't really matter as the detonator will cover it.

Here's an OTTK shim thread

I completely missed the you need to cut the back open after gluing. This might not be required after all. Thank you tor the tips.
