Pedro: I have used old fashoned crystal clear Scotch tape. The trick is to not touch the back side and leave fingerprints. Pull off enough so you get a length a bit more than needed. Lay it carefully over the opening , but don't press it down. Trim very close with a brand new #11 blade and then use a fingernail to press along the edges. Do this right before a final coat of Future which seals the edges. If you want a well used look to your machine, use the invisible kind of tape, it has a mikly look to it and would represent celon that had seen a month or three of UV abuse under the sun and has started to cloud.
