It's a standing joke around here that one of the RnD projects is to design a 'simulated finger' material.  For our purposes, it usually isn't a lot of pressure that is needed.  So I envision a foam type product with an adhesive on one side that you cut pieces to the size and shape you desire to place on that unstable RF oscillator...

Oh my goodness!  Earl told us, but a picture is worth a thousand words.  I wonder if there is a torque specification for that thar adjustable continuity mak'in device.
 
I've seen lab types do similar stuff before and ask if the added "fix" can be applied to production to get their design shipped because the project is behind schedule.
