[QUOTE="Rad Davis, post: 138006, member: 34"] Rather than sand it down a little if you get it too big, heat it up, let it shrink back and try again. Vulcanite has a great memory and will go right back to its original shape when you heat it back up. Also, try sticking something like a knitting needle or anything with a gradual taper into the tenon to make it bigger. It'll give you a much more uniform size increase than pushing it on a flat surface, and you'll have much more control. Just go slow. Rad [/QUOTE]
