Tight's a cup would be the State of Maine expression, though more
commonly used with regard to e.g. wooden boats after they've been in
the water a few days to "take up."  And if your Vanagon ever leaks
excessively when first launched, swimming underneath it with an
upside-down coffee-can full of sawdust to dribble into the seams can
be very helpful.  Mighta helped that feller on Top Gear...
