Or simply stick a plastic pipe plug in the ass end of the spindle at the

with an o ring on it.


That works good unless the material extends beyond the end of the

True enough. Then you stick a tuna can on the collet closer and as the
spray comes off the bar, it splashes around the sides of the tuna
can..and then drips out into your tray.

Chuckle..Ive seen it done a million different ways.

The clay is a very good method too!
