It's not particularly important how you level it. A feeler gauge would not really be more accurate because there's still the subjective quality of how tightly you apply it to the piece of paper/metrocard/feeler gauge. The platform will slightly flex down (but that suggests you're too tight.) The main purpose of the paper/metrocard is also to see that the platform is level, not necessarily at what level it is.

Says to use a "metro card" . Since I don't live in NY what else is compatible? I mean what thickness should it be.?  Wouldn't a feeler gauge be more accurate?
