thank you all for your help. i successfully joined by sides and baffle this morning. no bubbles and hardly noticeable "oozing". i tested the tin foil version but covers too much area. had much better success with the pins.

now ready to attach the back. i plan to continue to use the pins method since i have had success with it. however, i don't think i will be able to use this method for the baffle. i am constructing a rectangular reactor so i have no space to get my hands in there when attaching the back. any suggestions on how i can get this done? should i join the sides to the back first with the pins method? then just use the capillary method in attaching the baffle to the back panel.

thanks again for your help.
