Used the wooden jigs

What do you do about overflow sticking to the wood - and breaking the seal with
the double-sided tape? Looking more closely at your pix, it seems like I went
a little overboard with the two-sided tape.... so maybe you didn't have any
problem with that.

K-tat's instructions say something about wrapping everything in waxed paper or
cling wrap, but that seemed to defeat the function of the double-sided tape.

I slipped a wedge made from a utility knife blade with it's cutting edge sanded
flat in there and then pried gently with a screwdriver.

I covered the wood surfaces that might get glue on them with clear
plastic packing tape. The glue doesn't stick to it.

There are many kinds of double-sided tape and some definitely work
better than others. The last time I did one, the tape left goo all over
everything. The best stuff I've used is a thin plastic that looks like
wide Teflon tape, but I haven't seen it anywhere lately.

I agree with your assessment. Packing tape works better.

Whatever works without damaging the seal, right?

When you order from Offshore, do you specify the standard (0.26")neck seal or
the commercial (0.30")?

I've always used the standard seals. I'm not convinced that you gain
anything by making them thicker.
