Richard Raffan suggests building it up with wax until the lid is a tight fit.

Not that I've done this, of course, no, not me. I'm just asking - you know, to help others who might have this problem.

If you are talking about jamming it in to do the turning you can use a tissue, works a treat.

I ended up using a paper towel from the kitchen.

I mean, not me, the friend of the friend of the friend - cousin. Yes, that's what they did...

Thanks

She called her thread "Camphor laurel box". How boring. I'm gonna call mine Fred then. Ok Fred?

Fine by me. That's my 15 mins. of fame.

You should charge her rent

It's a long way to arrange baliffs in the event of non payment of rent.
Anyway I would be honoured for any lady to use my name

If the fit is not too loose, wrap one lap of masking tape around to hold the lid in place and then complete the turning.
