How about a thinly-wound silicone strip in lieu of the plumber's tape? Or even a suitably thick short-segment silicone tube? It'll compress and re-expand repeatedly I'd imagine.
Love it - love to see creative innovation in problem solving. Been doing it most of my life (by necessity). And the love of one's instrument as motivation - even better. Will go and pick out a jaunty reel on my thrice repaired guitar, inspired by your success.
Hi Mike,

That is pipe tape. Plumber’s tape is pliable metal strap with regularly spaced holes in it to secure pipes to structural members.
Plumber's tape, pipe tape, vacuum seal tape - - yikes, the vocab is all over the place.
Thanks for the clarification.
