i used a drum sander and had the rings flattened, i didn't put weight down to close the gaps as it was gluing.
i wound up using sanding sealer then 120gr to 440gr and it filled in all the gaps
I have some gaps from my glueup between the rings. I'm wondering if there are any good suggestions on hiding the gaps to salvage my piece.
Also I see how I messed up gluing the rings so no need to rehash that
