    Although I've never done any flush setting yet, from all the
    instruction and advice I've read on the subject (of any setting type
    actually), the stone should fit the seat with no gaps at all, as the
    stone can work loose if there's any room for movement. So when I
    read the original post, I thought the same as you Kevin, but I didn't
    want to say so as I've not yet done that type of setting. I was
    expecting a few of the experts to say it though.
