[Melodica-Me]

Dan, the washers work, but if you can find one with a 1/16″ hole in the center it would be better. What I have done is just place a little silicone on the post prior to installing the washer, let it sit over night and it will not move. for the gasket I use leather lace with contact cement. Do a V cut, but not all the way through, just enough to create a miter fold at each corner. Then miter lap the ends together. This works the best. you can find the lace at craft store or even Walmart online.
