It seems to me that placing paper between the block and plate defeats the
purpose of this procedure, a built-in gap.  Chalk the plate flange, lay a bead
of epoxy paste on the block and secure with clamps and screws. The chalk is
a mold release, the block will separate with a little tap and you'll 
get a tighter fit.

My favorite epoxy paste is MarineTex, available from marine suppliers.
