Hi Newton: Another possible use of the common gummed tape is that in the case of completely missing dowels, one can moisten and roll up the tape to any dimension diameter such as might be needed in this case. This is very bit as effective as using string for bridle tapes, or tooth picks for tuning pin shims.
