Ladyfisher: What I would do without the MT is to lay the CDC upon a piece of styorfoam block in which I had already cut a slit. The I would push the CDC into the alone, or with the aid of thread or an old credit card. Then I would grasp the CDC with a cheap binder clip and remove it from the foam, and proceed. The only advantage of the MT is that is is CLEAR plastic, but a little practice should overcome that advantage.
