I just did “the big join” and my degrees of difference is 1.0. How much is too much? Should I uncleco and try again? And yes I measured from the carry through (wing spar) too. I always get a 1 degree difference.

Can you place the spirit level on the seat back brace/main spar carry through? Does that show any bubble offset? With my digital scale I can see a reading difference with the viewing scale facing fwd or aft.
0.0 is possible.

This was exactly the problem. I was rotating the level 180 degrees without thinking about it. It was actually level. The 1.2 I was seeing was in error.
