When I first started doing Rick acoustics back in mid '06, I used quart paint can lids with double-faced tape around the edges...perfect fit.ben_brown wrote:Interesting use of the balloon Paul.

The balloon idea came from John Hall, and it's apparently pretty much an old luthier trick.
I also use Vaseline...large jars of it, dissolved in methylene chloride...as a mold release for casting precision parts.
Which brings to mind a funny story about going through the checkout line at Walgreens with ten packages of balloons and five large jars of Vaseline.
Even in screw-loose San Francisco, CA, this raises eyebrows...
