A vacuum was applied to the frame and the silicone gasket material pinched down to hold the tail piece to set without the use of other clamps. I did see a luthier tool for setting guitar tail stocks that was a wood frame with a piece of silicone gasket Spinrush Casino material. My oven has a soft cloth gasket and the tubing would easily fit through it. If you can find sealable bags that can take that temperature, use a vacuum sealer (like they use for sous vide cooking) to get all the air out. The oven MIGHT be able to maintain 380F for 2 hours with the door open a quarter inch crack, but it might not – that’s a lot of potential for heat loss.

The cd’s contain a bunch of tunes from the books.

They were so responsive and provided me with all the information I requested. The Technician went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and left my mechanical room looking cleaner than when they came. They provided exemplary service and I will be having them service my equipment from here on out.
