RE: loose tenon rings

Karen: 1mm difference in diameter! That's huge. All the more reason not to do a permanent ring compression if there is any chance of the instrument being returned to higher humidity. Item 3 of my 30.11 post would become a very significant issue. Any difference greater than 0.1 mm diameter can constitute a wobbly tenon problem.
Ron: Yes your last paragraph is correct, but I'm not sure how shrinkings subsequent to the first match the first when there is not too much control over the depth of indentations occurring in the shims used, especially with 'ridgy' rings.
That liquid shellac is horrid stuff. I cannot think of any valid use for it.
