    well at least in my case thinning the leaf has worked wonderfully for me. i could see where the other might be easier to accomplish. so whatever works for you i say run with it.

    if the pan is covering the touch hole by 50% then a .030 shim should do the trick. i dont think a .030" would cause a very noticeable metal to wood fit problem..... even so you could just taper the edges of the tang to get the fit back.
