That is a good method, an improvement can be made by making a beveled cut on one of the edges of each strip and install the strips with the beveled egde facing each other. Alternatively, 2 strips can be glueed together the one directly glueed to the can narrower that the top one, this will form a slot on which you slide down the film or paper. A even quicker method if your can is made of ferrous material, is to use plain flat magnets (the stronget the better), either right on top of the edges of the film/paper or instead of the mat strips as above. I can almost smell the turkey!! and turkey again next day, and the turkey sandwhich the day affter, and the the turkey soup and the turkey.......on and on and on!! It is a good thing thanksgiving (mid Oct) is not as close to Xmas here in Canada!! Anyway, Merry Xmas to everybody. Guillermo
