Lance: Yes, I used the two part bleach liquid. The bleach will not loosen the joints. It dries quickly. No, the ribs don't get to "see" any bleach, cause they're on the other side. I also tried matching the color and masking the glue joint of the shim, but I gave up and used the bleach. Paul McCloud
