8.1, not 8, or 7.5? by eye balling it?


Don't be so anal.

You pay for the needed volume to put the needed depth over the area in
question. It all goes in. So what if you eyeball whether it is
level, it will still ON AVERAGE be the specified depth, and if one
spot is 1/2 inch low than another spot will be a 1/2 inch high. So
what.

Don't try to cut it so fine.

Very true, I think if you want R30, you should aim higher. Also, I
was told it's average thing, some areas will be higher, while others
might be lower.

Just what I was told....
