Walker did already help you.
If it was because you followed my telegram style message on that subject 
not so long ago I'm sorry. I should have written cover the entire 
glassbed but the white balance strip. The original carrier is a good 
template for that strip.
There are two of those strips actually, the transparent one mentioned 
here and a white plastic one for reflection scanning just inside the 
hood. If you get problems with lengthwise stripes in your scans it can 
be the result of dirty white balance strips. The other cause can be dirt 
on the mirrors inside.
Wonder what you think of this wet mount method after some practice. Main 
advantage for me was overall sharpness and lighting the same over the 
entire frame. So less problems with sharpening etc afterwards in PSCS. 
But there are more advantages
