I disagree with this. I'm familiar with all those methods and consider glui=
ng the ring the best method. Shrinking the ring has disadvantages. Shimming=
can be done with many materials but there are still problems that I don't =
like. I can explain the disadvantages of these methods if you want. Gluing =
depends a lot of the type of glue.=A0Super glue for example is especially b=
ad for this purpose. I found that the best glue for this is shellac. It has=
all the advantages the other methods don't=A0but without the problems.=0A=
