RE: loose tenon rings

I don't think the source makes much difference.
I use the opaque egg-shell white rectangular one for pads, mainly because the colour matches.
I have a perception (perhaps eroneous) that the light gold transluent one is extra brilltle so I don't use it.
The black one seems to bubble too much for reliable use as a filler.
That leaves the translucent (almost opaque) amber one.

By the way I have been thinking that if I met a gap of 1 mm (was that radius or diameter?) I would probably consider using some sort of packing material too - perhaps a binding of linen thread - in conjunction with the shellac to fill the gaps...... even if just to easily get the ring asthetically concentric with the timber.
