I have a couple areas that are extremely close to touching on my door and jam where I added material and I wish I could remove some. Work looks great BTW.

Thanks for your thoughts. I am doing all my sanding and gapping with the rubbers installed. Regarding the gaps, I am making them just slightly larger than 3/16" to account for the base and clear that will be applied. So I think everything should come out as planned, even if I know how dumb those words are
