Now, find a suitable material for the shims. Margarine tub lids, milk bottles, or anything similar should work pretty well. Cut out 12 rectangles, each roughly 5/8" x 1 1/8". Depending on how much slack you have, start out with one or (usually) two shims in each crevice, for a total of 24. Some slack may come back later; then you can add 12 more, for a total of 36, or 3 at each crevice. | Now, find a suitable material for the shims.

Another material that works great is silicone cutting board. Get it at [http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=11289967&RN=108 Bed Bath and Beyond]; $4 for two boards. It's quite a bit thicker than milk jug material, but still thin enough to cut with scissors. | |||
