Yes, I have that trouble too. I tried building a special shim that 
would take up the slack on both sides but it was more clumsy than just 
 training myself to mate the thing in the middle by sight. If I miss 
it I just would reset it all over agin. Using the T8 cart seems like a 
reasonable alternative.

I had a thought that it might be a glue-stick....like library paste in 
a stick like you can buy at Kinko's. This sounds like it a lot but I 
couldn't imagine a glue stick giving enough adhesion. But maybe it 
does. Thank you, what I'll do is try to find it under that brand name 
of UHU so I know I have the exact same stuff you do, in case I'm 
guessing wrong on Kinko's version.
