Just about anything thicker than tin foil will work. You have to remember, its not being pressed out by anything physical. It just vibrates and shimmies around. Depending on the motor frequencies... it could vibrate out 1/8"... then vibrate in 1/4". Thats why some go right away... some take years. Just depends on how the thing resonates in its hole.


So yes. It will.

This is almost worth putting in a signature, right here. I better shut up now.

Seriously? Duct tape?


I have seen people use thin flat steel or things along that line and have it work. Gyayo2012, did you double over thestrip from the sign, or just cut a strip of it out and call it done?
