CLARNIBASS WROTE:

"I'm not crazy about "non-conforming" fillers/shims (like paper, etc.) because what usually happens is the ring supports and touches only at two opposite small areas as opposed to around the socket, in addition to less control over thickness.

I prefer shellac. It automatically fills the exact amount around the entire circumference to give support all around".

Thanks a lot to everyone who replied to my post.
I am going to wait a couple of weeks and will fix the humidifier this week.
If the wood woulld not expand enough then I would have to use some kind of shimming.

Only I cannot understand how to apply shellac (I got the white one the kind used for pads).
Do I heat the ring, spread some shellac inside of it and then put the ring in place?

Thanks again
