Helpful Hint Of The Month #648


Dig out that old Neil Sedaka (isn’t it Neil Dekaka?...Mike) CD (Tina’s is usually in her player… Mikey) and remove the disc, ‘cuzz we’re gonna give you a great use for that case. Take a hacksaw and cut a single notch through the middle of the top side of the top part of the CD case. Still with me? Put a roll of copper foil inside said case. Pull foil through said cut slot. Bingo! Instant foil dispenser. Relegate Neil Sedaka to burnishing tool. Can’t figure it out? Come in and see our sample (but leave Neil at home...Ed)(He prefers Tony Orlando...Mikey).

The Helpful Hint left me guessing. The rolls of foil I tried to put in the cd case were too large in diameter to fit. Perhaps your foil rolls are smaller? I use Venture foil.

It's true that not all sizes of foil will fit comfortably in a cd case- 7/32" (the most popular) and smaller have no problem working well. For larger sizes, it also helps to remove the inside insert.
