Spacing Paper

[Don Mannino]

List,

I agree with Richard. I take a piece of the brown tape, mark up the back
side (un-gled side) with a pen, then cut lots of small strips and store them
in a small 'zip-loc' bag.  The pen marks make it easy to see which way to
lick them and stick them to the flange.

It isn't really necessary to lick and stick, as the glue will usually stick
on it's own after being screwed to down for a while.  I usually go ahead and
lick it to try to help it stay on the flange if I have to remove the parts
for other reasons later.
