GC3 table leveling

Thanks don'tlitethat , I did as the directions suggested from RKC in his videos and put the screws in the end slates in at an angle to put pressure against the middle slate, otherwise , I would just take out the middle slate put paper and superglue in between the slates and bondo again.
Everything is so perfect , I am just trying to find out how big of a deal it is at this point?
I just checked and theres not enough room between the slates to even put a piece of paper in the ends.
 
Many thanks to all who replied, and to RKC for his very helpful instruction PDF.
I was in no real hurry so I took my time and fidgeted and finagled the slates many different ways, in the end once you get your mind around how the whole leveling process works, it became fairly easy.
I actually think this table is about as level as you can get one that has 3 pieces.
I also got the cloth on as good as any I have ever seen put on.
Then I was so elated, I worked when I was really tired and sore and made a couple of little mistakes.
The first pocket I did was acceptable but not the way I planned.
( I was scared of tearing the cloth or cutting it to short} and I had to redo it several times.
I also goofed up cutting out the rail bolt holes and cut into one of the slate screw holes instead , luckily it is all under the nose of the rail and could be repaired pretty easily , stupid mistake from being tired.
I am really enjoying the table, it is great for practice and with a little more fooling around with the rails I am sure it is going to play great.
The best advice I could give anyone is to watch RKC s videos several times.
There were also 2 or 3 others out of about 10 on You Tube that I found very helpful.
One was how not to do it!
If you take your time and figure out each move you make , you can do it to.
