    How do these patches look?

Yeah I realize that the OP is trying .010" patches but it sounds like they are a bit of a sloppy fit. What if .014" and a .490" ball is too...

    wedge on my GPR is loose

    I cut the slot into the pins on Patience... captured pins, not losing or swapping them. If they get loose I give the center of the lug a light whack with a light brass hammer.
