LOML wants a lid that seals for a large cup she has. I thought I'd turn one but don't have any wood thick enough for what I'm trying to do. I got a piece of scrap and turned it with a dovetail end to fit into my chuck with the plan to use double sided tape to hold the piece I wanted to turn. I even got some "special" tape from Rockler especially made for this. Both that and my normal DS tape failed. The Rockler stuff (read POS) is about as sticky as a post-it note.
So, bottom line. HOW DO I DO THIS? I've got a piece of wood ~1" thick that I will rough cut round on my BS. I need to mount it onto the lathe without marking either side. The only thing I can think of is to clue it to the scrap piece I've made for the chuck and then parting it off.
Thanks.

"73 is the best number because it's the 21st prime number, and it's mirror 37 is the 12th prime number, whose mirror 21 is the product of 7 times 3. Also in binary 73 is 1001001, which is a palindrome." - Nobel Laureate, Dr. Sheldon Cooper
