I kind of screwed up cutting a hole for a cookie tin lid and almost sanded the hole too large. The lid is a little sloppy in the fit dept. If it is slid in one spot it's ok, but if I slid it in another and apply a down pressure it falls through. Can I glue it in position without affecting the sound. Or should I just scrap it and start over? Not like it's a big deal.

Also should I make a bridge or a biscuit for tin(6.5" dia)

pics would help. cant tell what could be done otherwise.

Out of town right now, will do asap. 

Maybe you can glue some wood strips around the edge and screw in place. That way you can take it apart if you need to in the future

Just got home short while ago, think I found a fix. Haven't had a chance to measure it yet, but I found another tin that I think is slightly larger. If so I'll just make adjustments and wala alakazam. Or ill throw the box out and start over.
