Hi Kevin
 Actually a piece of window glass works better and
is easier to get to the right size. I've used small teflon pins ( used to
be electronic standoffs ). Even dellron ( sp? ) works well on glass.

If the stuff weren't already the right size, I'd not be using it.  I will
be using a marble on marble slide with a dry lubricant between.  I will
also polish the two surfaces with my zirc-ox to smooth their differences.

Glass is better for some things, and this will only be experimental at
first. If it works, I guess we're back to the stone age.
