| Standard hockey puck. I cut it on a radial arm saw to keep it square. |

| After you have used the scissors to cut both the desired thickness and length of the hand bag.......er, I mean coaming.. (ahem), to the length to surround the cockpit opening, simply remove the "stuffing" to reveal the groove to slip over and around. In this case, I used white glue to account of the time needed for adjusting the coaming to fit snugly around the cockpit. The handle from the hand bag will have enough to produce at least a half dozen open cockpit aircraft. |

| A pair of scissors works great. Tried the knife route, and its not worth the effort. |

| After slicing off a section of the handle. This particular length had some "stuffing" inside that needed to be removed. If you'll note, the upper half will actually provide a nice groove to slip the coaming around the cockpit edges. |

| Observe the nice, fine, oh so wonderful stitching on the handle. Ahhh, I can imagine you're already getting the idea. Perhaps I've elicited a smile? |
