is slack required in the cable so the door flexes around the corners. Can you see between the slats after it is assembled ?

BEST ANSWER: Leave no slack, you want it tight. You cannot see between the slats.

Rockler customer service is good they...
Rockler customer service is good they shipped me some replacement slats fairly quickly. Another note if your roll top islonger than 30 inches good luck finding cable.Editor's note: For longer cable one can use bicycle brake/gear shift cable, or what is commonly known as aircraft cable.
