Well, this notification came in OK for me... thanks.. I noticed that I had been subscribed but hadn't been getting the notices. I unsubscribed and subscribed again, and now I seem to be back in the fold.

The tin foil idea seems to work OK. Yeah, you have a point about it tearing. What I did was to depress the valve a little way with my fingernail, slide the foil in, then release the valve gently. Just checked for minimal drag on the foil. I handled it gently, so it didn't rip.

I hadn't thought about the celophane from a cigarette package. Does that mean that I have to take up smoking again???
