I feel your pain. I just put a flat, two piece pad (two halves) on a fresh board and the left side is like 1/16th of an inch too high and my OCD is driving me nuts about it. :crazy2:

Not sure if this is what you’re referring to, but I cut off the side cut edges on the pad’s tail block. This seems to prevent the thicker kick from popping up from the tail’s curve
I think you mean bevel the corners? I usually buy pads that are already cut there. I think the issue usually happens if the deck has some dome to it. my round tails can be the worst offenders.
