Subject: COZY: Chapter 8 transition piece trick

I wanted to pass on a little trick. I was making the transition piece near
the end of chapter 8. I had this real nice piece of foam cut to shape. I
took out the box tape knowing that it would be difficult to cover the foam
with the tape. I quickly confirmed this wasn't going to work well. I know,
I'll try using electrical tape. Electrical tape loves contours. It stretches
great. But - what will the glass and epoxy think? What the heck, I'll give
it a try. (The suspense must be killing you by now :)

Today I gouged out the foam with a chisel and in about 5 seconds I pulled
all the tape off the glass. Perfect. Simple too.

>From now on I will use electrical tape where box tape is called for on
anything but flat surfaces.

Enjoy - time for a cook out and fireworks.
