I use Saran Wrap, personally, but I suppose any thin material will do.
Silicon tape should work well.  You can findn it in the plumbing section of • a
hardware store.  It is a white tape (no sticky) about 3/8" wide.  It is very
stretchy and will conform very tightly to any shape.  It's used on the threads
of pipe for gas lines.  It provides a more perfect seal.

Teflon Pipe Tape!  Yes!!  I've got tons of that stuff!  I'll give that a try,
or the Saran Wrap (thanks Mike).  I tried scotch tape, but it wouldn't conform
to the holes well enough.

I love Lugnet.  You guys rock :)
