Hi Keith:
Nev got in touch with me on this hot topic. < Hot for more reasons than one>
While he had no idea how to fix my email problem he was gracious enough to offer his suggestion on bonding the top.
He recommends that you do indeed use the vinyl flooring on both the flap an aileron for proper gap.
In addition he added these hints.
Cut out the webbing on the wing between the flaps and ailerons leaving only a 1/4 inch ridge. This will allow easier lift and separation between the flaps / aileron and the top.
Also he recommends a "dry run" installation of the top. Use packing tape for release on the back of the top. Sand and redux the ribs. Install the top with the weights and bars as described. After cure peal the top back up. This will fill any gaps that you have on the edges and ribs and give a good flat surface to bond on.
Sand the cured redux on the ribs and and file the drips off the edges and then bond the top on permanently.

>>> Question to any that have cut out the webbing. Did you leave it open after the bonding was completed or perhaps make a cover and redux it in place. I'm thinking of varmint entry here. That's going to make a rather large hole.
