It sounds like I'm being picky....but it ends up being a lot less work and effort to fix the gap, or build a whole new guard, rather them fight with trying to "hide" it with solder or glue.....and the associated clean up it requires when you're trying to fill a spot that really shouldn't be there in the first place.

Ed,

Something that I have used successfully for years as a solder substitute is adding Atomized Stainless to the AcraGlas. Give it a try and see if you don't like it as well. (It's available through Brownell's.)
