Ok I spent the day using my cabinet scraper near the fades. It is bending a little better there. I also worked on the hinge a little but wanted to stop here and see what anyone thought. Should I keep working on the area near the fades and worry about the hinge after that?

Hi,

Slow down and scrape it very little
