David, I did try a sheet of paper, but not a dollar bill. Would a five work? Don't have a one currently. thanks for the suggestion. But I can't figure a way to make it fit more tightly. Is there an adjustment that I'm not finding on the crank mechanism that allows it to fit better? Mine does not seem to tighten up until it is right on the gasket. thanks, David > > Yours, > David > -- David McNeely
