: One simple method is to use a few pieces of masking tape to hold
: the stem in place.

: You need to remember to cut through or remove the tape before a
: strip covers it.

: That approach has always worked for me.

Hi Allen,

The tape holding the 5/8" strips against the stem won't hold for me to taper the inner stem. Should I use some fine nails on the center of the inner stem to hold it in place?
