I use contact cement (rubber glue).
Same thing here but in Iceland we don't have surnames in that sense. It makes checking into hotels very odd when nobody has the same last name...
So there is no no family name in Iceland? Then how can you tell that people are from the same family?
Our last names are the first name of our fathers with son (son) or dóttir (daughter) added to the back. There are some family names but they have always been frowned on.
As for the family, we have been isolated on this rock for 1000 years so pretty much everybody is related to some extent...

I have 2 sheets of stainless mesh, one is specified as 25 micron, the other is 30 micron as per this advert:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Super-Fine-400-E-Cig-Stainless-Steel-Mesh-0-3mm-A4-210-x-300mm-Bargain-/151102693460?pt=UK_Crafts_Other_Crafts_EH&hash=item232e6c2054.
I don't know whether this is the spacing between the wires or the thickness of the wires, but they are like a fine cloth. Quite heavy in the hand but feeling like silk. I think they will be pretty much transparent to audio. I need to pretension them before attaching them to the stator.
Of course there are many types of mesh available, some of which are stiff and self-supporting, and I could easily obtain a different type.
I was thinking of attaching the mesh to the copper using carbon conductive glue, like this:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Conductive-Wire-Glue-Paint-NO-Soldering-Iron-Gun-Solder-/320599571856?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item4aa5393d90 which I have already. I bought it to see if I could use it for making vias in doublesided PCBs but it didn't work.
Thanks for the suggestions re. the capacitors jcx.
I've already bought these 0.1u 1250/600V Wima Polypropylene caps http://www.maplin.co.uk/polypropolene-capacitors-with-metal-foil-98162 since I have 1M resistors loading the amplifier outputs (on the schematic). I felt that the 1M res would be necessary to provide a defined ground return path for the bias voltage. I could of course change these to a higher resistance. I bought the caps on the basis of the tests in Doug Self's 'Small Signal Design' book.
I do have some 0.1u 1kV ceramic disk caps on order, but these are intended for use as PSU decoupling for the amplifier proper, and they are not NP0/C0G.
Broskie did complain about his output caps 'singing' which forced him to make a change. I wasn't aware, however, that NP0/C0G types were available in nanofarad ranges. I will probably proceed with the build using the caps I have in hand, but if I order the boards from a manufacturer rather than milling them myself, I will be sure to use a dual footprint to enable a change if it turns out to be necessary.
