The duct tape keeps the lid from being pushed off.Some of the slabs I put in are up to 4 inches long.They tend to push up as they roll. Had one batch run overnight with the lid popped off. Dont want that to happen again.

I hear strains of Madonnas "Like a Virgin" in the background. Almost seems a shame to dirty that up!

Charlie,they are in a utility room in my house,refridge, chest freezer,washer,dryer, and 10 tumblers. Really, they arent that loud, to me at least.Relaxing,like rain falling on the roof. The family does close the door to it when they watch Tv in the next room.

Hi Snuffy, The Lot "O" s look great and will do a great service for you , It was the best polisher I have ever bought Hold that lid on I was given by tom ( Connrock) a clip that holds the cap on made up as follows 1 - A key ring - - - ( that fits over the bump on the bottom of the barrel) 2 - short lenths of thin Bungee cord 7" long with hooks each end The Bungee cord - - - one end hooks onto the ring (Permenant) the other end into the other bungee cord hook They say a picture is worth a 1000 words so I took a photo of it , here is the link for you img.photobucket.com/albums/v357/john-edward/2011/Bungeecord2011-02-26001.jpgSpend 5 mins making this little gadget and you will never loose a top of again - - - Garanteed !
