Packing a rudder head

   Any idea what material to use to pack a rudder head in a stock, or a board in a case?
And where to source it (in a hurry)?

I remember formica discs on old wooden boats.  Is there a modern equivalent?

	CDs or DVDs
	Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else

	This isn't about friction it's about packing it out so it stays central. And I always find Jap tape comes off.

	from previous there you are two thicknesses of shim at minimal cost - it's just a shame there aren't as many pointless free CDs about as there used to be (AOL) and that even a whole tube of pringles isn't enough ofr many people as once they've popped they can't stop ..
